This thesis is a study about photography and when applied to linguistics photography has linguistical characters. Photography is applied to Saussure's symbolic logic, Peirce's symbolic logic, Barthes's evolutionary teory and the symbolic logic in rhetorical metaphor. these kinds of classification are divided as a matter of convenience, but actvally these methodolgies are too closely srelated to classify. Saussure considered only as an artifical sing system as sing and it is included in the research. On the other hand, Peirce defined sings that didn't need the presence of a human sender if sings are what shows something in stead of showing it to sign users because everything can be defined in signs. His sign theory is an unlimited study field because he deliberated signs that meant not only customary sign system made by human for communication but also natural phenomenon and accidential occurrences. Symbolic logists explain Saussure's symbolic logic is the theory. of customary system for communication and Peirce's symbolic logic is the theory of the meaning process. The meaning action is the process connected to forms of sign and content of sign in Saussure's sight. It is made by the three components - a sign, a interprecation and an object. However, the meaning action isn't simply settled this way. Saussure said that the meaning of the sign is concluded by the structure of the reaction with others. It means reaction of signs can vary according to the culture or the situation. Signs can be totally understood by the object as well as by the relations among interpretation of other signs, even in culture a sign is used. The point of sameness between Saussure's sign nation and Peirce's can be read and written diffently depending on sign user's cultural experiences. Effective meaning action is that each meaning action is related not accidently but purposesly and meaningfully showing something formation rahter than an orignial thing can be more definite visual meaning action to acceptors. Roland Barthes, who developed this theory, thought about meaning action and suggeseted and announced that the model can analyze signs, codes and texts of meaning action. 'Barthes tried to analyze how additional signs of meaning action in a society. The notion of the metaphor is said to be applied to both linguistic signs and unliguistic signs as the signal notions in the rhetorical technigue of literature. The notion of the metaphor can make it possible for the signal to identify the meaning, and interpret how the meaning can be identified in concrete among signs. The photographs play roles in the system of absorption in our cultural society in a different way. All elements in photographs have their own symbolic system and all of these elements are also composed of internal and external meanings. These formations of the meaning make of different levels and unlimited meaning by plural relation. Acceptors frequent the different levels and admit a lot of meanings of photographs. In conclvsion, signal analysis tries not to say what photographs say but to explain the logical process of a photograph so that many expressive elements are transmitted to one message in this thesis.
