Pragmatics beyond cognition: a perspective of Charles Peirce’s unfinished conception for (bio-)semiotics
... new understanding of biomolecular processes for transmitting genetic information have emphasized the necessity to consider semiotic activity, that may operate autonomously from human cognition. In this regard, Charles Peirce’s latest conception of semiosis is of particular interest. For Peirce, semiosis is an interpretation that doesn't necessitate an external interpreter. A sign is viewed as a quasi-mind, and semiotic processes are carried out by these signs, specifically through the quasi-minds ...
Where does the method come from? On the self-sufficiency of semiotic objects
... extension of linguistic methods applied to non-linguistic objects. It highlights the dual and recursive nature of semiotic terms. Semiotics' objects are not independent signs but rather the processes involved in establishing sign relations, specifically semiosis and semiopoiesis. Given the dynamic character of semiosis, signs should not be regarded as fixed objects from a predefined vocabulary; instead, they should be seen as ongoing processes. This underscores the significance of referencing texts ...
The semiotic perpetuum mobile in action: OMON, homonyms and antonyms
... that allow simultaneous actualization of various interpretations of this utterance. We demonstrate that the analysis of semantic relations in their dynamics requires the introduction of new theoretical concepts. The general principle of dynamic semiosis is demonstrated — that is the recursive relations when a signified of one sign through intermediate operations (homonymy and synonymy) becomes a signifier of another and vice versa. In this semantic Perpetuum mobile, no single interpretation ...
Where and how meanings emerge
... interaction of the system platform with the platform-as-context, due to the possibility that one generates and determines the operational potential of the other, acting a recursive loop or Möbius strip. The connection between subjectivity and meaningful semiosis is crucially important due to the key role of textualization and languaging. The signified are reproduced by signifiers and thus generate those processes that are structured by interactions and other practices. In complex systems (biological ...
