In the semiotic theory of communication, organising system signs

In the semiotic theory of communication, any organising system of signs is referred to as a/anย 

(A) code 

(B) signal 

(C) symbol 

(D) icon

Correct Ans: (A)

Explanation:

In semiotic theory, scholars define a “code” as an organized system of signs that helps in creating and interpreting meanings. Codes serve as rules or conventions that guide how people understand symbols, signals, and messages in different contexts.

For instance, language itself is a code, where specific words and grammar structures create meaning. Similarly, in visual communication, colors, gestures, and symbols follow particular codes to convey messages effectively.

Moreover, communication codes can be cultural or technical. Cultural codes influence social behaviors, traditions, and customs, while technical codes shape media, cinema, and advertising strategies. For example, a red traffic light universally signals “stop”, demonstrating a structured system of meaning.

In conclusion, the concept of “code” in semiotic theory highlights the essential role of structured sign systems in shaping communication, interpretation, and social interactions.
