Sign Post


-
Semiotics
-
Sign => connotations, associations, meanings to us

Syntagm = group of signs (present)

Paradigm = related signs (not present)

From our experiencing groups of signs we form cultural expectations

These cultural expectations form Codes

When codes become stories we tell ourselves they become Myths

Myths are then principle in forming our belief system

Our belief system can be known as our Ideology

But our ideology can change as we incorperate new myths and or discount old ones.
