Semiology

---

As per available reports about more than 13 Conferences, 2 Journals, 24 National symposiums workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to semiology and about 269 Open Access Articles, are being published on semiology.

Semiotics is the study of meaning-making, the study of sign processes and meaningful communication. This includes the study of signs and sign processes (semiosis), indication, designation, likeness, analogy, metaphor, symbolism, signification, and communication. Semiotics is closely related to the field of linguistics, which, for its part, studies the structure and meaning of language more specifically. The Semiotic Tradition explores the study of signs and symbols as a significant part of communications. As different from linguistics, however, semiotics also studies non-linguistic sign systems. Semiotics often is divided into three branches:

Semantics: relation between signs and the things to which they refer; their signified denotata, or meaning

Syntactics: relations among or between signs in formal structures

Pragmatics: relation between signs and sign-using agents or interpreters

Charles Morris adds that semantics deals with the relation of signs to their designata and the objects that they may or do denote; and, pragmatics deals with the biotic aspects of semiosis, that is, with all the psychological, biological, and sociological phenomena that occur in the functioning of signs.

Semiology frequently is seen as having important anthropological dimensions; for example, Umberto Eco proposes that every cultural phenomenon may be studied as communication. Some semioticians focus on the logical dimensions of the science, however. They examine areas belonging also to the life sciences – such as how organisms make predictions about, and adapt to, their semiotic niche in the world (see semiosis).

In general, semiotic theories take signs or sign systems as their object of study: the communication of information in living organisms is covered in bio semiotics (including zoo semiotics). Syntactics is the branch of semiotics that deals with the formal properties of signs and symbols. More precisely, syntactics deals with the "rules that govern how words are combined to form phrases and sentences". The goal of sociological analysis is to identify the principle at work in the message or text, i.e., to determine the rhetoric or the grammar tying together all the elements. Semiotics differs from linguistics in that it generalizes the definition of a sign to encompass signs in any medium or sensory modality. Thus it broadens the range of sign systems and sign relations, and extends the definition of language in what amounts to its widest analogical or metaphorical sense.

Semiosis or semeiosis is the process that forms meaning from any organism's apprehension of the world through signs. Scholars who have talked about semiosis in their sub-theories of semiotics include C. S. Peirce,John Deely, and Umberto Eco. Cognitive semiotics is combining methods and theories developed in the disciplines of cognitive methods and theories developed in semiotics and the humanities, with providing new information into human signification and its manifestation in cultural practices. The research on cognitive semiotics brings together semiotics from linguistics, cognitive science, and related disciplines on a common meta-theoretical platform of concepts, methods, and shared data.

Semiotics Conference is an emergent discipline whose purpose is to study the nature, characteristics, functions and effects of information and communication within organizational contexts. The contribution of Semiotics to the understanding, analysis, modelling, design and implementation of organizational and technical information systems has attracted much attention of researchers and practitioners from many subject areas. Semiotics Conference helps us to understand the inter-workings and interactions among individuals within society, and also between human beings and technology. It opens up prospects for scientific theory building and provides a means of gaining insight into organized behaviour and enacted social practices, in the presence and absence of various technologies. The broad issues that concern the researchers in this field are philosophical, social and technical, studied through existing and newly developed semiotic theories and methods.

OMICS International Organizes 1000+ Global Events Every Year across USA, Europe & Asia with support from 1000 more scientific societies and Publishes 700+ Open access journals which contains over 100000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board and organizing committee members. The conference series website will provide you list and details about the conference organize worldwide.

Scope and Importance:

Semiotics, the study of signs and their meanings, can be used to gather insights for product development, market segmentation, packaging design, and more. It is an effective methodology for conducting market research which provides valuable information to formulate brand strategy and guide the creative dimensions of the brand.

Market Analysis:

One of the advantages of Internet marketing is its ability to target promotion and marketing to audiences in new and innovative ways. A thorough semiotic analysis of the elements and signs of a website advertisement shows that individuals belonging to different cultural groups create meaning in different ways. Semiotics can help Internet marketers develop appropriate communication strategies and design communication channels with a certain degree of cultural sensitivity. Overall, techniques such as semiotics influence and can improve the impact and effectiveness of currently used promotional strategies.
