Abstract

The production and transmission of symbols in human society are constantly constructing people’s world of meaning. The process of symbolic meaning expression and the process of interpreting symbolic meaning activate the thinking world of the social subject to different extents and may reflect the social subject’s response to the living world, social world and material world in the ways of opinion expression. Opinion expression as a communication action is still essentially the subject’s interactive expression of meaning by using symbol or a set of symbols. The interactive action formed between opinion expression and the revivification of public opinion phenomenon by the subject’s opinion expression seems making it possible to connect the public opinion phenomenon with symbolic expression of meaning, namely the two parts are linked theoretically by opinion expression. From the perspective of semiology, opinion expression itself is an expression of meaning, rather than saying that meaning expression and opinion expression are different interpretations of ideographical expression in semiology and public opinion. But both the expression of meaning and the expression of opinion are the products of interaction within a certain range of space, ideographic space. Based on the understanding of this space, the paper explains the relationship between symbols and public opinion and makes clear the interpretation of some core issues in public opinion researches in aspect of semiology.
