Iconic vs. Arbitrary Signs Definition: Examples: Arbitrary Arbitrary Sign: a sign that has no relationship to its meaning. Iconic Sign: a sign that has a direct relationship to its meaning. *Many hearing people think that an easy iconic sign makes sign language just a system of gestures, like “Don’t do that”, “Hi”, “Bye”, “Ball”, etc. Once a Deaf person starts signing in complete sentences using ASL, hearing people are then confused and lost b/c this is a true language! The reason hearing understand is b/c of this grammatical feature called iconic signs and arbitrary signs.

Iconic Signs Iconic sign – a sign that resembles the meaning behind the sign.
