Abstract
Understanding subjects and their identities is linked to examining their communications and interactions. Identity formation initially relies on differences and the sense of "self" or "us" versus "other." From the standpoint of social semiotics, these differences, stemming from adherence or non-adherence to certain norms and the type of signs individuals or groups emit, are examinable. Moreover, the behavior of social groups towards individuals who possess different signifiers can also vary. In fact, central reference groups may adopt different behavioral strategies towards individuals who are perceived as "others" due to possessing different signifiers. Correspondingly, the "other" and the behavior and lifestyle it adopts are categorizable and subject to examination.
