{wiki=Trace_(semiology)}
In semiology, or semiotics, "trace" refers to the concept of a mark or sign that signifies something else. The term is often associated with the work of semiotic theorists like Ferdinand de Saussure, who laid the groundwork for modern semiotics by discussing how signs operate within a system of meaning. In semiotics, a sign consists of the signifier (the form that the sign takes) and the signified (the concept it represents).
