 Sign (semiotics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Saussurean sign exists only at the level of the synchronic system, in which signs are defined by their relative and hierarchical privileges of co-occurrence.

It was the twin discoveries that 1) the distinction between the levels of system and use and 2) the semantic "value" of a sign could only be defined system-internally, that formed the basis of structuralism.

Opposition to teaching sign language in the classroom arose at the end of the 19th century from educators who believed in teaching deaf children to speak, a method known as oralism.

That which is a sign (namely the associative total of a concept and an image) in the first system, becomes a mere signifier in the second.
Saussure provides an explicit basis for the expansion of his science of signs beyond linguistics: "It is possible," he says, "to conceive of a science which studies the role of signs as part of social life.
