Peircean Proto-Signs
نویسنده
چکیده
Human knowledge is intentional, as opposed to ‘knowledge’ represented by the computer, which is syntactic. The premise of this paper is that nevertheless a process model of cognition can be defined which is isomorphic and analogous to Peirce’s 9-adic classification of signs. An advantage of the relation with the Peircean concepts lies in the model’s potential for the definition of a ‘natural’ representation of knowledge, a representation which can be more easily interpreted than the traditional formal ones.

Interactivist naturalization of biosemiotics and Peircean semeiotic
Intention is to show how the concepts of Peircean semeiotic can be transformed to interactivist ones, and what restrictions this transformation brings along to the application of Peircean concepts especially to biosemiotics. The basic interactive re-interpretation of Peircean semeiotic for biosemiotics can be done with three levels of representation. At the first level, the concept of minimal (...
متن کاملC. S. Peirce’s Evolutionary Sign: an Analysis of Depth and Complexity within Peircean Sign Types and Peircean Evolution Theory
The very essence of Peircean semiotics is the process through which an object is represented by a sign and creates another sign. This means that Peircean semiotics bas ically constitutes a theory of representation. This implies that the object and the sign cannot be the same and hence sign displacements occur in the cognitive processes. When dividing the Peircean sign types into signs of nature...
متن کاملTowards a Theory of Meaning Extraction
Using a Peircean model of sign recognition, we define meaning extraction as text summarization based on propositional signs. Such signs, as parts of sentences, can be conceived as transitions between successive states. Consecutive transitions can be combined to generate a single proposition (or sentence) comprising the summary of a text.
متن کاملA Peircean Ontology of Semantics
Peirce’s semiotics can be effectively used for modeling different sorts of signs. In this paper it is argued that semantic signs, which are signs from the semantic point of view, are no exception. It turns out, however, that a proper modeling of semantic signs needs a better understanding of the concept of qualisigns, as well as, of the relation between Peirce’s categories and his theory of signs.
متن کاملPsychosemiotics and its Peircean Foundations
The aims of this article are to outline the nature and scope of psychosemiotics and to highlight its foundations in the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce. Psychosemiotics, defined as the study of how humans learn, understand, and use signs, is grounded in the theory of the sign and semiosis as conceived by Peirce. Psychosemiotics addresses representation and meaning in seven signways: l...
