What is a "sign"?

A sign is a basic unit that conveys meaning and represents a concept, idea, or object. It consists of two main parts: the signifier, which is the form that the sign takes, such as a word, image, or sound, and the signified, which is the concept or idea that the sign represents. The relationship between the signifier and the signified is often arbitrary, meaning that there is no inherent connection between the two; instead, it is based on social or cultural agreements. For example, the word "tree" is a sign where "tree" is the signifier and the actual concept of a tree is the signified. Understanding signs is essential for interpreting language and communication, as they allow people to share and convey complex ideas effectively.
