SYMBOL AS A SIGN WITH MULTIPLE MEANINGS

Abstract

This article explores the role of symbols as signs with multiple meanings, emphasizing their importance in art, literature, and communication. Symbols transcend their literal definitions, serving as image-based signs that embody broader and often abstract ideas. Through an analysis of works by key theorists and examples from literature, this study demonstrates how symbols enhance meaning and expression. The findings contribute to understanding how symbols function within cultural and linguistic contexts, providing insights into their creative and interpretative potential.
