Peirce’s Theory of Signs
Jay Zeman
Sign Object Interpretant
It is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity.
It is a union of the thing denoted and the mind.
It gives characteristics (describes) of something in order to identify the sign. It is describable in terms of its effects.
“proper significant effect” of the original sign.
It is produced in the mind of each person.
It is a relationship between a sign (smoke), an object (fire), and interpretant (idea of fire in the head of observer).
Thirdness: Relationship between events, the person
mediates here.
Categories:
Firsteness or feeling: o Prereflexive; there
is no analysis, reference, comparison nor process here.
o It is atemporal. o The places with
esthetic connection are usually where firsts may be found.
E.g. Enjoying music without reflection the enjoyment.
Secondness: o Actual existence,
reality. o In contrast to the
firstness, there is reflection here.
o Other recognized as other. It is unique
E.g. Specific observations in a laboratory.
Resemble or imitate something.
Physically connected, show something about things.
Context, meaning by usage.
Icon, Symbol & Index
Grammatical speculative: Find out (discover) what must be true of the sign in order that they may embody meaning. A word has a meaning as we can communicate our knowledge to others and getting others communicated knowledge, what grammatical speculative does is to allow that communication- ground.
Logic proper: Formal science of the truth of representations- object
Pure rethoric: One sign gives birth to another- One thought brings forth another.
