AB - The aim of this study is to take semiotical analysis on the property of signs in Korean Sign Language by analyzing simple signs of Korean Sign Language. Sign language, which imitates referred object and has many iconic signs referring objects directly, is not appropriately explained by the criterion of spoken language based on ‘arbitrary’ relation between signs and referents.
Thus it requires consideration based on semiotical theories through which both natural language and other semiotic systems can be analysed. When analysed by Peirce’s sign classification, single words in Korean Sign Language’s frozen lexicon has 50 percent of icon and index. Symbol accounts for the other 50 percent. This result corresponds with foreign previous studies and suggests that icon’s high proportion in sign language is general property of visual language.
