==Ferdinand Saussure==
According to [[Saussure]], the [[signified]] is the [[conceptual]] element of the [[sign]].
It is not the real [[object]] denoted by a [[sign]] (-- the [[referent]]), -- but a [[psychological]] entity corresponding to such an [[object]].<ref>[[Saussure|Saussure, Ferdinand]]. (1916) ''Course in General Linguistics'', ed. Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye, trans. Wade Baskin, Glasgow: Collins Fontana. p.66-7)</ref>
For [[Saussure]], the [[signified]] has the same status as the [[signifier]]; both form equal sides of the [[sign]].
