What is "signifiers"

Usage examples of "signifiers".

I am saying that specific experiences, themselves linguistically structured in many ways, are not captured in signifiers without a corresponding lifeworld signified.

Provided, of course, that it is not done as a merely academic endeavor, where a bunch of disengaged dunderheads attempt to analyze the signifiers without having a clue as to the actual referents.

Shared lifeworlds mean a shared set not just of structural signifiers but also of developmental signifieds.

All the social signifiers impinge on you, but none of the cultural signifieds come up.
