The signifier are all words or concepts, the meaning is the definition or idea of the signifier and the referent is the object to which the signifier refers.
For example:
1- HOUSE (signifier)
- is the building we use to live (meaning).
- the graphic or drawing of a house (referent).
2- LOVE (signifier)
- is the feeling that inclines us affectively towards another person, animal or thing (meaning).
- person in love (referent).
3- SPACE (signifier)
- is the emptiness that bodies occupy (meaning).
- any body (referent).
4- TEMPERATURE (signifier)
- is the level of heat a body has (meaning).
- the sensation of heat or cold (referent).
5- TIME (signifier)
- is the duration of things in a certain physical state or situation (meaning).
- as the time interval does not generate sensation, the referent of this concept is its measurement. It is for that reason that in Physics the concept of time passes to its measure without defining it properly.
