1. The difference between a symbol and a sign, is that a symbol can convey a deeper and more complex meaning than a sign. A sign is just a indicator or marker for something very specific.
2. The three elements of the symbolic relationship are the actual symbol, Referent which is the idea of the symbol, and us, we interpret the actual meaning of the symbol to give it meaning to the world.
3. A word is an idea but until we interpret it and give it a meaning its becomes a symbol.
4. One natural sign that I've seen in the world would be a "Stop" sign.
5. One symbol that I've seen in the world, would be a Stop sign, its referent stands for cars to come to a stop. I knew what it meant because of the word stop and also from seeing cars stopping before it, from my parents as well.
