“…Yet, importantly, not all signs are symptoms. For this reason, semiotics has had a more complex relationship with psychology, being variously investigated within a number of sub-disciplines but often ignored in clinical work (Daddesio, 1994;Guo & Mackenzie, 2015;Michon, Jackson & Jorna, 2003;Petrilli, 2004). This oversight is even more egregious given that semiotics is aligned to communication theory and devoted to meaning-making, which are foundational to clinical practice.…”

Semiotics is about signs, but more so about meaning-making. It therefore has immediate relevance to counselling. The current paper not only seeks to introduce semiotics to counsellors but also to offer skills and methods to enhance the ways in which practitioners see, hear, and understand their clients via the use of signs. In particular, five semiotic practices will be discussed: (1) the clinical relevance of categorising client signs; (2) the value of exploring the connotic meanings of client signs; (3) the effective use of a paradigmatic analysis to uncover hidden meanings; (4) the value of metaphor and irony to therapeutic conversations; and, (5) the necessity of understanding a client’s language code to avoid erroneous clinical judgements. Finally, in adopting the use of semiotics, practitioners are able to reconsider their practice by looking beyond client symptoms to engage meaningfully with entire sign systems, which confer additional and important clinical information.

This paper tackles the issue of the lack of a substantially new approach to classifying the interpreters’ notes. In my paper, I highlight the fact that the researchers in the field are yet to agree on the contents of interpreters’ notes, and that is, in my opinion, the problem that is numerously stumbled upon in consecutive interpretation research in general and note-taking research in particular. Not only do researchers invent new classifications within an excising paradigm, sometimes they contradict each other presenting different definitions for the same concepts. This paper attempts to solve the issue by introducing a new perspective on the contents of interpreters’ notes by adapting the human-centered approach and turning to the “writers” of the notes, the interpreters. The interpreter trainees who participated in this research were interviewed to obtain an in-depth understanding of what is included in interpreters’ notes. Under the semiotic perspective, which assumes both linguistic and non-linguistic notes as a system of signs, I classified the interpreters’ notes based on the subject’s comments to the notes they had written. This retrospective approach unveiled how interpreter trainees perceive their notes which prompt meaning-making and facilitate the memory when delivering interpretation.

“…Sementara itu, ketika penelitian hanya menganalisis ujaran dan acuannya, maka ia masuk dalam ranah semantik (Zaimar & Harahap, 2014). Di sisi lain, Petrilli (2004) mengatakan bahwa konsep pragmatis Morris tidak hanya fokus pada tanda, namun juga fokus pada nilai. Penggunaan teori Charles Morris ini cocok untuk menganalisis sebuah lagu agar makna menjadi sempurna dikarenakan melewati tiga tahapan tataran kebahasaan.…”

The purpose of this research is to reveal the representation of a male character’s longing for his lover in the song Qiṣṣat Ḥubb, a song full of emotion. The song was sung by Umm Kulthum, a famous singer from Egypt who has a big influence in the Arab world. The song Qiṣṣat Ḥubb was composed by an Egyptian writer named Aḥamd Rāmī. In the song Qiṣṣat Ḥubb, some signs have a deeper meaning. The study of meaning in this study uses Charles Morris’s theory of semiotics, which is divided into three, namely syntactic meaning, semantic, and pragmatic meaning. This study used a descriptive-analytic method by describing the data on the object of research, then continued with the analysis. The results of this study indicate that the syntactic meaning in the song Qiṣṣat Ḥubb is the sadness of a man because he reminisces with his late lover. The semantic meaning of this song is the confusion of a man who is abandoned by his lover. Meanwhile, the pragmatic meaning is the longing of a man for his lover which causes suffering and almost drives him crazy.
