Intersemiotic translation, which can happen in the process of the translation of drama for theatre, can turn more complicated when the verbal sign system of drama has already undergone interlingual translation. The purpose of this study is to find the intersemiotic changes of translation from page to stage and to show the changes of indexical, iconic, and symbolic signs in the process of inters...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of classifying a subset of environmental sounds in movie audio tracks that indicate specific indexical semiotic use. These environmental sounds are used to signify and enhance events occurring in film scenes. We propose a classification system for detecting the presence of violence and car chase scenes in film by classifying ten various environmental so...

1. Indexicality in language and thought As expression types, indexicals do not refer. Only tokens of an indexical refer, because indexical reference is achieved through relations between tokens of the indexical and other entities in the context of tokening ; entities which gain their status as referent in virtue of standing in these relations to the relevant token. For example, a token of 'I' r...

It has long been argued that rational action necessitates having indexical thoughts. The ability to understand and generate indexical expressions is also a precondition for interacting in natural language. A rational acting agent that interacts in natural language is, thus, required to develop a proper treatment of indexicality. Treatments of indexicality in the literature have, almost always, ...

This article explores the production of naturalized temporality and its ideological effects by focusing on the semiotic process of indexical order. Linguistic practice is linked with the exercise of power not only by constructing intersubjective social reality in an ongoing communicative process, but also, and perhaps more powerfully, by constructing an historical narrative that logically unfol...

this article, in an onomastic framework, is based in the semiotics of characters’ names, and tries to study the names of the dramatic characters’ names according to the different references introduced by c. s. pierce such as iconic, indexical and symbolic references.since the knowledge of onomastics is one of the analytical means with respect to knowing the literary- dramatic characters in the ...

While indexical information is implicated in language processing, little is known about the internal structure of the system of indexical dimensions itself, particularly in bilinguals. A series of three experiments using the speeded classification paradigm investigated the relationship between various indexical and non-linguistic dimensions of speech in processing (talker identity, talker gende...
