The purpose of this study is to analyze trilogy by means of semiotics. trilogy constructs a story as a whole while each piece delivers a concluded ending. This study used 'modele actantiel' and 'carre semiotique' of Greimas in order to clarify not only the meaning structure but also the course of narrative of . is a compelling story which reverses the fairy tale of a beautiful princess and a heroic prince. Each piece of the trilogy unfolds as following; (1)ls the love of a princess and an ogre possible? (2)Can the marriage of the couple get confirmed? (3)Can Shrek be free again? The repeated meaning structure of trilogy is the binary opposition of nature versus culture, and the narrative course forms the meaning square on the basis of the opposition. Human culture represented by the lord Farquaad and Duloc castle signifies cleanness, order, complex, anxiety, paranoia, authoritarian, and violent. On the contrary, Nature represented by Shrek and the swamp signifies barbarity, freedom, confident, maturity, unstrained, and humar. The meaning of Shrek series is generated by the structure of the basic discrimination of culture versus nature. However, as story twists the bias and fixed idea, the meaning structure of Shrek shows a unique relationship of culture and nature. Although Shrek, an ogre, lives alone in a swamp because of the bias of human world, he is depicted as self-sufficient, comfort, and broad-minded. On the basis of this meaning structure, Shrek is not a story that an ogre(nature) strives to enter the human culture, nor a story that nature wins a victory at the confrontation between culture and nature, but a story that human(culture) and ogre(nature) overcome their fixed ideas through the transition from culture to nature and vice versa.

Comics are a genre that convey meaning through compositional arrangements of dialogue and images as well as through the flow of panels across a page. Communicating that meaning to readers through a combination of language and visual lexicons is the essential process of drawing comics, a process that in itself is significant. The semiotics of comics is a field of scholarship grounded in the broader discipline of semiotic theory in which all the components of comics, both visual and verbal, are the subject of study and research. By adopting a semiotic approach we are able to objectively analyze and understand the symbolic, social and ideological meanings embedded in the signs and sign processes expressed in comics. The fundamental pedagogical mission of teaching comics is to cultivate human nature through the study of theory as well as through the production and completion of original works that explore new modes of expression. To go further, interpreting those embedded meanings in the context of comics fosters effective and creative skills of expression that go beyond a mere fascination for the genre itself. In short, because the semiotic approach to understanding visual communication is the essence teaching comics, we can expect that the act of reading and creating comics plays a significant role in understanding visual communication.

This study is dealing with sound of Hitchcock's movie <The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)> from Peirce's semiotic perspective. This paper examined Peirce's theory prior to semiotic discussion, and analyzed the three elements of sound(speech, noise, music) depending on the type of sign that he presented. Music is possible to express emotions as an index through intervals. The instrument sound under firstness works as the element of narrative and it may be a dynamic object, transferred to the dicisign of secondness. Also, a word in speech is possible to represent an object allusively through an icon in the film. Noise and music as an index are serving to increase the tension of film. Meanwhile, two different genres of music on the juxtaposition are in charge of narrative function as a dicisign. Thus, Hitchcock's sound has various semiotic qualities of signification depending on the context.

In this research, the researcher uses semiotic methods in order to analyze the essential aspects of educational games. The basic concepts of semiotics and their relevance to education are explored, as well as how signs are shown in a particular educational game is examined. Several semiotic theories which can assist in analyzing educational game are examined. Roller coaster Tycoon2, an educational game, is analyzed using Peirce's semiology in which education is defined in terms of signs and semiosis. As a result of analyzing Roller Coaster Tycoon2, a educational game, through Peirces semiology, the game was found to contain all the different types of signs. It contains the three types of signs (sign, object, interpretant) as well as firstness, secondness, and thirdness. Especially, the second and third has a major part in Roller Coaster Tycoon2. The sign of the second is assists in logical and creative thinking, the third is assists in creative. It appears often in the game due to the real-time strategy game environment in which problems are solved by planning logical strategies after considering the relationship between several signs.
