Nagranie lektorskie: In the world of signs. We observe various signs on a daily basis. They inform us about things, convey a certain meaning. Usually, they are created by a person aiming to communicate something to us. However, we often assign a certain meaning to something by ourselves, creating our own interpretation. Signs are therefore a form to which we assign a certain meaning. We perceive them through different senses, mostly through sight and hearing, but taste, touch and smell can have their role too. It is worth to know the nature of signs and their role in interpersonal communication. Indicators, icons, symbols. Signs are objects which direct our thoughts to other objects or phenomena. For example, a stream of letters „bicycle” makes us think about 'a two wheel human powered vehicle' while a road sign prohibiting the cross without stopping refers to a thought about the danger that makes people stop. Signs consist of two elements: a signifying (medium of meaning) and a signified (meaning). Signs can refer to other objects or phenomena in three ways. For that reason, we divide them into: indicators (indexes), icons and symbols. Interestingly, the functions of indicator, icon and symbol can co exist in one sign. It is an indicator of a left turn because behind it the road actually turns left, it is also a symbol of warning because people agreed to war fast drivers by a triangular shape on a yellow background (and not differently), it is an icon because of being a very schematic picture of a bending road. It's the same case with knocking on the door: it indicates there is a person standing behind the door, it is a symbolic sign meaning could you open the door?, it is an arbitral conventional sign because we could scratch the door (like dogs and cats do) or rub it as well.
