Question: The study of symbols and images is called______.

Semiotics, the study of symbols and images, is based on the work of Ferdinand de Saussure, a Swiss linguist and semiotician. Saussure believed that language isn't simply a collection of words and sentences, but a larger system based on rules that we all agree upon. Semiotics is an approach to understanding meaning based on the relationship between signs and the ideas they represent.  For example, we understand the idea of a "cat" because we understand the relationship between the signifier (the word "cat"), and the signified (the mental concept of a feline animal). By applying semiotic principles to the study of images and symbols, we can see how they inform the meanings.
