Cognitive semiotics

Cognitive Semiotics is science of recognizable signs. Cognition relates to the process of thought, and the word "semiotics" is derived from the Greek word "semiotikos" meaning "interpreter of signs (or gestures)." Cognitive semiotics can be said to be the study of how meaning is constructed and understood through the communication of signs and symbols.

The main research areas in semiotics are meaningful gestures and symbols, while recognizable gestures and symbols are a part of cognitive semiotics.

Usability has much interdependency with cognitive semiotics. Users can relate to most easily understandable signs and symbols.

John Locke would define cognitive semiotics as doctrine of recognizable signs.
