影像中圖像與造形符號的關係

影像(image)要成爲一種語言，必須能夠進行分節(articulation)，也就是能從影像中區分出結構單位，並組成一種文本(text)，才能了解影像的符碼(code)結構。本文透過符號學的理論，發現以意指(signified)爲基礎的圖像符號(iconic sign)，及以意符(signifier)爲基礎的造形符號(plastic sign)，兩者同時存在於影像中，並各自擁有自身的分節單位及組成方式；並就圖像和造形兩個符號系統，分析和整理出它們的單位及組成方式，不僅能使影像成爲一種語言，更能藉此釐清具象與抽象(abstract)藝術的區別，使影像在閱讀及製作上更爲明確、豐富和自由。

By conducting the articulation, an image can be made into words to differentiate the structural unit from the image and form a kind of text, so that the code structure of the image can be understood. The study determined that the iconic sign derived from the signified and the plastic sign transformed from the signifier both can be found in the image and each of them has its own articulation unit and composing method based on the theory of semiotics. The researcher analyzed and sorted out the related units and composing method of the two systems of iconic and plastic signs resulting in images that can be made into words and concrete/abstract art that can be therefore distinguished. Reading and producing images can be clearer, boundless, and free.
