Well, Google is your friend:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ei=nzXOScLHCZL0tQOCnOigAw&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&q=signifier+signified+referent&spell=1

The magic word, as this shows, is ... semiotics!

You might also try:

http://plato.stanford.edu/search/searcher.py?query=semiotics

... although they still don't have even their main entry directly on
the subject.

ps - if you want anybody on fa.analytic-philosophy to see your message
you need to post it to the analytic group on Yahoo, the Usenet group
is just an echo.
