A sign is an object, quality, event, or entity whose presence or occurrence indicates the probable presence or occurrence of something else. A natural sign bears a causal relation to its object—for instance, thunder is a sign of storm. A conventional sign signifies by agreement, as a full stop signifies the end of a sentence. (This is in contrast to a symbol which stands for another thing, as a flag may be a symbol of a nation).The way a sign signifies is called semiosis which is a topic of semiotics and philosophy of language.How a sign is perceived depends upon what is intended or expressed in the semiotic relationship of: Signification Significance (i.e. meaning)[citation needed] ImportanceThus, for example, people may speak of the significance of events, the signification of characters, the meaning of sentences, or the import of a communication.

That can be achieved by marking something, displaying a message (i.e. a notice), drawing attention or presenting evidence of an underlying cause (for instance, medical symptoms signify a disease), performing a bodily gesture, etc.
