Define Text & Media in a context of Semiotic
In my understanding of semiotic studies, text is an assemblage of signs such as words, images, sounds or gestures constructed and interpreted with reference to the conventions associated with a genre and in a particular medium of communication. While, Media is a tools or medium for a sign to be carried out. For example, radio, television, newspapers, magazines, books, photographs, hand sign and more.

Yes, I agreed what you had mention earlier. In my opinion, semiotics relates to the context, and signs of the things or substances in a more specific way.

It's like seeds and wind, wind can bring seeds to another place, and seeds can grow to be a plant to be a sign of nature, life, spring or something else.
ReplyDeleteSemiotics is the study of signs and sign processes (semiosis), indication, designation, likeness, analogy, metaphor, symbolism, signification, and communication.The press uses a visual channel, its language is written, and it draws upon technologies of photographic reproduction, graphic design, and printing. Radio, by contrast, uses an oral channel and spoken language and relies on technologies of sound recording and broadcasting, whilst television combines technologies of sound- and image-recording and broadcasting...
