Abstract

This paper aims to view the potentiality of the Peircean symbol as a means of narrative communication. The Peircean symbol is characterized as a triadic relation in the form of sign-object-interpretant including iconic-indexical-symbolic features of sign, and it will reveal how the three components are bound together to produce meaning in communication. The paper will thus show the relation between object and interpretant by way of sign, that is, the iconic representation of a story in narrative communication. In particular, the fact that symbol is tied to interpretant allows us to look at symbol in order to interpret in symbol-using mind, this being correlated with icon and index. The two types of sign are cooperative, functioning the collateral observation and experience for the purpose of attaining a proper interpretation in communication. As an illustration, the feature of Peircean symbol in a parable of the Bible will demonstrate and thus emphasize the symbolic communication which leads to self-control by interpreting, experiencing, and using the symbol. Consequently, the process of interpretation will affect the interpreter with a significant effect on his/her future action in communication.
