Pierce labeled his theory on meaning pragmatism, but when he found out that James used his theory as a test of truth he became upset.
Pierce believed that the word was so ugly that no one would kidnap his theory again.

 Charles Peirce
Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is generally regarded as the founder of philosophical pragmatism, and, with Saussure, of modern semeiotic, and also as one of the founders of mathematical or symbolic logic.
He considered his semeiotic (as he spelled it, in contrast with current usage of "semiotics" as an inclusive term for all the various studies of signs) as a general theory of logic, and saw language as but a portion of semeiosis.

 Guggenheim Collection - Concept - Index
A photograph has to be a photograph of something, or evidence of the chemical processes of photography itself.
This necessity of the photographic sign to carry the referent within itself is what Charles Sanders Pierce, American Pragmatist and founder of the American school of semiotics, labeled the index.
Produced by a physical, contiguous connection between sign and referent, the indexical sign “would lose the character that makes it a sign if its object were removed.” This is true of nonphotographic signs such as the residue of human contact: a thumbprint pressed into plaster or a cast shadow.

 SINTÁCTICA, SEMÁNTICA Y PRAGMÁTICA
La otra concepción de signo, la triádica, fue desarrollada por Charles Sanders Pierce (1839-1914) y debe su nombre a que considera que el signo está formado por la cooperación de tres instancias, el objeto (lo que se representa), el representante (el símbolo) y el interpretante (la representación).
La riqueza entonces se produce en el acto interpretativo, más que en la mera denotación de lo simbolizado.
Y esto es lo que Pierce no advierte o cuando menos no enfatiza suficientemente: la interpretación se da en un sustrato, en un contexto humano, tanto psicológico, como sociocultural.
