Semiotics Lesson

[TishasTracks]

The background music is distracting. Harder to concentrate on what's being said. Had to give up in the end.

You need to make more videos on such complex theories. All i can say is that this is by far the best video ever on semiotics.I was able to understand everything you taught so easily. Thank u so so so much

hmm i don’t agree with the sign of a house categorized to a “symbol” because the sign is resemblance to a real house. I think it is close to icon or index.

[michalgreben]

Are you sure the picture of the house is not an icon? I always thought that the relation between a symbol and what it symbolizes is based on mere convention (e. g. traffic lights). The drawing of the house physically resembles an actual house as well as the drawing of a bike that you claim to be an icon. Can anyone explain this to me, please? I’m confused.

The best video on semiotics for beginners I ever seen.

Best semiotic Vid I've watched so far ... Thank you for the lesson ... awesome work :)

[AussyAngelx]

Can I just say that I have been staring a textbook for ages now with semiotics going completely over my head - this video has helped me so much to grasp the main idea of what it is! Thank you!

[martynthomas]

Yeah that vocal and cheesy background music was way too annoying to listen to so I turned it off after about 2 minutes.

Great video! I have a question regarding the house "symbol" before the bike icon. Why is the house not also an icon when it clearly represents a basic image of a home. It seems to represent the signifier as close as the bike image does, no?

Hey i am a graphic design student and i am having my exams tom for the semiotics and i have no idea about what semiotics is, i really appreciate your video its really amazing i am almost 70-85% clear about the semiotics in one look thank you.

Such a simplified version of semiology was so easy to understand. Keep the good work on.

[ckeleher]

Great video!! But consider taking the music out. It was distracting :/

[greatpassion]

Good video but the music really didn't help me to focus I can't continue watching.

[inakavikasho]

I have an exam tomorrow and chanced upon this.. Thankyou!

[kurchak]

I know it's been said, but that music has got to go. You have probably lost thousands of views and thumbs up to that. Can't watch this video.

[farahmonicha]

This is the best and most clear semiotics explanation I've ever watched lol.
But really tho, thanks a lot, Loren! It helps me so much with my uni assignment.

[suhavinarang]

The distinctions between icons and symbols are nonsensical. A stylized mustache is an icon, although it doesn’t look like every mustache. Yet a stylized outline of a house is a symbol BECAUSE it doesn’t look like every house. The distinctions made are arbitrary. Why is a picture of a flag automatically a symbol of a country rather than an icon that represents flags? Apparently symbols and icons are whatever you choose them to be. As another example, the stylized man and woman on bathroom doors aren’t symbols of humans, they are symbols for bathrooms. They are also icons for man and woman. The difference is that symbols are learned; icons are directly representational. Icons require only that the viewer be familiar with the corresponding real world object, such as a flag. If I see a flag that I am not familiar with, it cannot be a symbol for me, yet it can be an icon. If I see an image of, for example, an 18th century cobblers bench, and I have never seen such a thing before, it is neither an icon nor a symbol for me.

OK, thank you for an honest attempt to explain a concept that many people don’t know about. I applaud that. But PLEASE, pretty please with sugar on top: stop ruining good videos by adding annoying background music. Too many creators do this, and it is not necessary AT ALL. It more or less ruins any video. This time, it made me so irate that I stopped watching.

Thank you I learn a lot from this video because it was clearly expressed.Good thing that I still able to manage to focus on the content rather than the baclground music that needs to level down a little more.Anyway I was confuse as well about the house symbol that I thought was an icon.Anyway your video is great.Watching this content that was 3 years ago uploaded, still such a great help 🤗
