Batik is one of the many Indonesian cultural heritages worldwide and has become a hallmark society. Every contains meaning. Meaning in signs also called semiotics. This article aims to clarify semiotic meaning colors motives Riau Islands Batik. The researcher took data from interpretation Islands' symbols by locals. In clarifying data, was done using qualitative methods. result showed how recog...

The article provides a semiotic analysis of the types totalitarian culture and its manifestation in art, both classical modern. On basis analyses, it is shown that mass (and attributes) may be considered modern type culture. Particularly, antidogmatic antitotalitarian essence contemporary art phenomenon highlighted. Based on methodology, key moment demarcation between ‘totalitarian’ one has bee...

This paper intends to show how a semiotic model akin to a dyadic semiotic can contribute to knowledge representation issues. In particular we hope that it offers a viable alternative to triadic semiotic models usually evoked to build conceptual structures and knowledge representations.

The concept of information in ordinary language is being analysed in detail. It will be shown that information is a family resemblance concept which is not definable in a unified way. As a consequence, an integrated semiotic information processing model is postulated instead of a unified information concept.

This paper proposes and examines a semiotic framework to inform the use of technology in mathematics education. Semiotics asserts that all cognition is irreducibly triadic, of the nature of a sign, fallible, and thoroughly immersed in a continuing process of interpretation (Halton, 1992). Mathematical meaning-making or meaningful knowledge construction is a continuing process of interpretation ...

Here, we present a semiotic model of signaling pathways in B-cells in order to substantiate the view that semiotic modeling is required for the referential aspect of signaling processes to be grasped. We discuss how a process of asymmetry-formation through membrane closing puts living systems under selection pressure to develop semiotic competence, and, thus, signaling becomes a key process in ...

What semiotic potential resides in a 3D virtual environment? This paper accounts for some system features of a Norwegian virtual world, Patagonia, which is part of the 3D Render Ware based ActiveWorlds. It is argued that these features constitute a semiotic resource in interplay with language. The paper suggests visual semiotics as an additional framework to discourse studies of computer-mediat...

Graph-related practices are central to scientific endeavors and graphing has long been hailed as one of the core “general process skills” that set scientists apart. One research question that has not received much attention is, “Are scientists generally competent readers of graphs, or are graphs indissolubly tied to practices and understandings of their everyday workplace?” This study was desig...

This paper examines the interaction between Semiotic choices and the presentation and solution of a family of contemporary mathematical problems centred around the so-called 'stable marriage problem'. I investigate how a socially restrictive choice of signs impacts mathematical production both in terms of problem formation and of solutions. I further note how the choice of gendered language end...
