Cancel culture: cognitive mechanisms of meaning transmission in media discourse
... discourse. Particular emphasis is placed on its interrelation with wokeism, which operates as an ideological and axiological framework shaping a system of values centred on equality, inclusivity, and social justice. Cancel culture, in this context, functions as a pragmatic instrument of value enforcement, realised through public condemnation, boycotts, stigmatisation, and symbolic exclusion. Both phenomena are conceptualised as interdependent components of a unified conceptual-cognitive mechanism ...

‘Definition of poetry’: Frege vs. Jakobson
... references is either entirely denied (by Frege) or associated with the actions of "aesthetic operators" (Linsky), specific illocutionary attitudes (Searle), or the recipient's standpoint (Zolyan). On the other hand, the theory of the poetic function of language, as presented in formalism and structuralism, posits that the reference of the poetic sign does not extend to the world of objects but rather to the linguistic environment inherent within the sign. It underscores the "auto-referentiality" ...
Really: syntactics without semiotics?
... respective to natural language. Formal models of language deal with classes of elements and predict their positions. Lexicographic descriptions provide instructions to the use of particular language items treated as signs with their concepts and syntactics. Functional words including discourse particles allow both approaches.

For some pieces of data, a description framed in terms of linguistic politeness appears to be suitable.

Should there be biomolecular pragmatics?
... semiotic pragmatics. The shift involves a move from describing coding languages to describing languages that regulate them. This requires considering the agentivity (or quasi-subjectivity) of sign systems, which leads to a scenario where the sign system functions as both its subject and object, thus reviving Peirce's idea of the sign as a quasi-mind. An analysis of the primary regulatory mechanisms shows that regulatory codes: (a) create specific conditions for coding, (b) govern and control coding processes,...

Kant über inneren Sinn, Zeitanschauung und Selbstaffektion
The aim of this research is to explore what relations self-affection bears to the intuitions of inner sense. I propose that self-affection makes some contribution to formal intuitions and empirical consciousness by arguing that the functions of self-affection consist respectively in conceptualising and conscious-making. I begin by examining Kant’s concept of inner sense and point out that inner sense as a receptive faculty depends on self-affection. In so doing, I emphasise that ...

More precisely, the following argument is made: 1) the sublime nature of the image of ...
