Description

A sign is an object, quality, event, or entity whose presence or occurrence indicates the probable presence or occurrence of something else. A natural sign bears a causal relation to its object—for instance, thunder is a sign of storm, or medical symptoms a sign of disease. A conventional sign signifies by agreement, as a full stop signifies the end of a sentence; similarly the words and expressions of a language, as well as bodily gestures, can be regarded as signs, expressing particular meanings. The physical objects most commonly referred to as signs generally inform or instruct using written text, symbols, pictures or a combination of these.

ਚਿਹਨ ਇੱਕ ਅਜਿਹੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾਈ ਚੀਜ਼ ਜਾਂ ਘਟਨਾ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਕਿਸੇ ਵਸਤੂ ਜਾਂ ਵਰਤਾਰੇ ਦੀ ਤਰਫ ਸੰਕੇਤ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ ਅਰਥਾਤ ਚਿਹਨ ਖੁਦ ਆਪਣੇ ਅਤੇ ਵਸਤੂ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਕਿਸੇ ਚਿਹਨ ਤੋਂ ਸਾਡੇ ਮਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੁੱਝ ਸੰਕਲਪ ਆਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ, ਜਿਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਕ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਦਾਹਰਣ ਵਜੋਂ ਗਾਂ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਇੱਕ ਚਿਹਨ ਹੈ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਗਾਂ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਨੂੰ ਪੜ੍ਹਕੇ ਜਾਂ ਸੁਣਕੇ ਸਾਡੇ ਮਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੁੱਝ ਸੰਕਲਪ ਆਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ। ਯਾਨੀ ਇਹ ਕਿ ਇਹ ਇੱਕ ਜਾਨਵਰ ਹੈ ਜਿਸਦੇ ਚਾਰ ਪੈਰ, ਦੋ ਕੰਨ, ਦੋ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਇੱਕ ਪੂਛ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਆਦਿ। ਰਵਾਇਤੀ ਚਿਹਨ ਇਕਰਾਰ ਤੇ ਟਿਕਿਆ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਜਿਵੇਂ ਵਿਸਰਾਮ ਚਿੰਨ੍ਹ ਵਾਕ ਦੀ ਸਮਾਪਤੀ ਦਾ ਚਿਹਨ ਹੈ। ।
