 Charles William Morris's Writings on the General Theory of Signs
Morris divides semiotics into three interrelated sciences or disciplines: 1) syntactics (the study of the methods by which signs may be combined to form compound signs), 2) semantics (the study of the signification of signs), and 3) pragmatics (the study of the origins, uses, and effects of signs).
Morris argues that a language is a system of simple and compound signs which have interpersonal and plurisituational signification (i.e conditions of denotation which are the same for a number of interpreters and which remain relatively constant from situation to situation).
Morris argues that language is a system of signs which produce dispositions to social behavior, and that in order to understand the uses and effects of signs we must understand the ways in which signs influence social behavior.
