The concept of the "sign" as proposed by Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce provides foundational insights for semiotics—the study of signs and symbols as elements of communicative behavior. These semiotic models have profound implications for analyzing folklore, especially since folklore is a system of symbolic communication, encoded in myths, legends, rituals, proverbs, songs, material culture, and performance. Understanding how signs function and are interpreted within a culture allows for a deeper analysis of the structures, meanings, and functions of folkloric expression. Ferdinand de Saussure, a Swiss linguist, introduced a dyadic (two-part) model of the sign. According to Saussure, a sign is composed of two elements: the *signifier* (the form of a word or expression) and the *signified* (the concept or meaning associated with the signifier). For example, in folklore, the image of a "snake" as a signifier may be associated with the signified concept of "danger" or "evil." Saussure emphasized the arbitrary nature of the sign—the link between signifier and signified is not inherent but based on social conventions. Therefore, meanings can shift depending on cultural context and historical period. Saussure's model is also relational.
