	Code (semiotics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In semiotics, the concept of a code is of fundamental importance.
		Codes are rule-driven systems which suggest the choice of signifiers and their collocation to transmit the intended meanings in the most effective way.
		To that extent, codes represent a broad interpretative framework used by both addressers and their addressees to encode and decode the messages.

	Encode (semiotics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In semiotics, the process of creating a message for transmission by the addresser to the addressee is called encoding.
		The process of message exchanges, or semiosis, is a key characteristic of human life depending on rule-governed and learned codes that, for the most part, unconsciously guide the communication of meaning between individuals.
		Within the broad framework of syntactic and semantic codes, the addresser will select signifiers that, in the particular context, will best represent his or her values and purposes.

		Semiotics, the science of signs, since it deals with differences in context that produce meaning, rather than the reality of "the world out there," provides a rich vocabulary of terms and techniques for analysis of the codes and signs that constitute the reality of social relations.
		Code 1: The shirt as a utilitarian undergarment The "t-shirt" is a soft, plain, uncolored, sleeveless or short- sleeved, usually cotton, garment originally worn under another shirt, blouse, or heavier overgarment.
		Code 5: The shirt as a problematic icon Undershirts, as they are commodified and exchanged in part for their image-creating value, no longer directly index experience, action, membership, institutional or social identity.

	Code-Duality and the Semiotics of Nature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This code, however, necessarily is analog, since it has to interfere with the physical surroundings and thus must share with these surroundings the properties of physical extension and continuity.
		To avoid unfruitful misunderstanding on this important aspect of the semiotics of nature it may be worthwhile, therefore, to compare the view of the individual as a tool for the fertilized egg to other commonly held conceptions of the biological role of the individual.
		Since, according to the semiotic paradigm the processes of animate nature would seem to be much more like processes hitherto thought characteristic to human culture, many humanistic disciplines might in the future be able to incorporate biological insights into their thinking.

	Hypermedia Joyce Studies: Darren Tofts
		Such a reading, while abhorrent to Eco's semiotic, is nevertheless "valid" as a potential perturbation; the only limiting case in a dynamic semiotics would be the condition of homeostasis, namely the semantic unity's ability to assert its boundary within a communicative environment.
		A dynamic semiotic would agree; but rather than gesturing toward a superceding cultural code, autopoietic theory would instead suggest that it is through a stabilization of resonant perturbations that the coherence of the text as a whole emerges, not the other way around.
		Since dynamic semiotic systems are recursive, in which individual systems define their own boundary conditions based upon perturbations within a communicative context, we can no longer define language or a "semantic store" as out there; rather, it is structured as a complex attractor, displaying emergent patterns that approximate stable forms (Andersen, "Dynamic" 175).

	CSI: Sim3
		Codes, he contends, are "principles of semiotic organization governing the choice of meanings by the speaker and their interpretation by the hearer" (67).
		codes act as determinants of register, operating on the selection of meanings within situation types: when the systemics of language-the ordered sets of options that constitute the linguistic system-are activated by the situational determinants of text (the field, tenor and mode, or whatever conceptual framework we are using), this process is regulated by the codes.
		The code is a perspective of quotations, a mirage of structures; we know only its departures and returns; the units which have resulted from it (those we inventory) are themselves, always, ventures out of the text, the mark, the sign of a virtual digression toward the remainder of a catalog.

	Peeter Torop - Cultural semiotics and culture
		Eco viewed Lotman’s extralinguistic attitude to the code as leaving borders of structuralism: “Lotman still understood that looking at text as a message produced on the basis of linguistic code is not at all the same as viewing the text (or set of cultural texts) as a code.
		In his article “Cultural Semiotics and the Notion of Text” (1981) Lotman replaces the notion of deciphering or decoding the text with the term of communication and creates, by describing circulation of texts in culture and relations between the text and the reader, a typology of different, although complementary processes: 1.
		Cultural semiotics, born in 1973 and in the environment referred, moved by its internal developmental tradition with the baggage of Russian formalism and the Prague Linguistic Circle away from structuralism.

	Umberto Eco's A Theory of Semiotics
		Eco notes that Hjelmslev (1943) describes semiotics as a study of signs which is itself analogous to a language and which may therefore be studied by a ‘metasemiotic.’ A ‘metasemiotic’ is a metalanguage which is concerned with the terminology of semiotics.
		A ‘code’ is an instrument for connecting the expression of signs to their content, and is a correlational device which generates ‘sign-functions.’ A ‘code’ is also a rule for sign production and interpretation, in that it determines how the expression and content of signs are to be correlated.
		According to Eco, both the ‘referential fallacy’ and the ‘extensional fallacy’ may distort a theory of codes by promoting the false assumption that the object of a sign, or the class of objects to which the sign refers, is a necessary condition for the sign’s meaning or signification.

	SRB Review 4(2)
		One of the reasons for the relative success to date of semiotics in the humanities and, to a lesser degree, in the social sciences, seems to be the modelling capacity of the various conceptual constructions which semiotic theories afford.
		The semiotics of theatre -- whose history goes as far back as the 1930's -- has progressively constructed, through successive modellings, an epistemological object which has itself become the phantasmatic object of further modellings and which could appropriately be called "the theatre of semiotics".
		Having declare it impossible to divide the theatrical code into homogeneous units, her problem is then to express the combinatorial rules which govern the textualization of these heterogeneous units.

		Code's double are the two-fold of information processing, time- and space-based, which correlates to code as language/formatives, and code as matter/form, or again, as instruction and data in the interpreting machine.
		The sign is virtual, a double-nature of expression and content, which is never complete, and the code is the stuff making up the chasm between, and also making the sign (code then is the virtuality of the sign), as all signs are coded and can not be decoded or the sign would be like nothing.
		That is: codework was already the issue, though under the guise of aesthetics rather than code * aesthetics in the older sense of sensation / aisthesis and not aesthetics in the sense of codified responses or artistic forms * or rather, in the sense of the ground of these responses/forms.

	The Sarkar Challenge to Biosemiotics
		The code was cracked as a step-wise experimental denouement (the first codon was deciphered in 1961 using a cell-free system and RNA sequences; by 1966 the entire code was established).
		Applying a concerted set of approaches is possibly necessary to attack some of the unsolved riddles in biology, such as the origin of life (and with it, the genetic code), the origin of the eukaryotic cell and the early evolution of multicellular organisms, where reductionist explanations given entirely on the molecular level seem to fail.
		Semiotic realism, as an ontological claim is thus fully compatible with either a critical realism or a more `relaxed' pragmatism concerning the epistemological level.

	Beyond Metaphysics: Semiotics and Character in Don Quijote, I, by Carroll B. Johnson
		He systematically refers each signifier to the code of chivalry: that large building is the castle, the maidens taking their ease by the portal are high-born ladies, his arrival is announced by music, the man in charge is the castellan and so forth.
		The failure of semiotics is signalled by Sancho's unsuccessful attempt to resolve the bacía-yelmo controversy by his invention of the synthetic word baciyelmo, and the subsequent demolition of the very possibility of synthesis.
		The choice of code, that is, the relation established between person and object, which determines the meaning of the signifiers, is demonstrated to be entirely a function of the human relationships between the characters.

	Section 9: Introduction AIHM 577 (OSU)
		Similar to letters of the alphabet, the "code" of fashion is sometimes thought to include the type of fabric, the texture of the material, the color and pattern of the material, the volume and silhouette of the structure, and occasion for which it is worn.
		In the study of semiotics, theorists and researchers have attempted to demonstrate that appearance is a visual language with its own distinctive grammar, syntax, and vocabulary (Lurie, 1981).
		Although the semiotic approach to the study of fashion symbols can provide us with a useful analogy of equating fashion with language, fashion symbols are unique in several respects that prohibit a direct parallel between "language" and "fashion symbolism" (Davis, 1985a, Hoffmann 1984).

		The reason foods are so useful as signs and social codes is because they are separable, easily adaptive to new environments, and it is not difficult to cook, or eat for that matter.

		There is a claim that most part of intelligent behavior should be due to semiotic processing within autonomous systems, in the sense that an intelligent system should be comparable to a semiotic system.

		The key issue on this study is the discovery of elementary, or minimum units of intelligence, and their relation to semiotics.

		I appreciate the information on the history of Morse code, and found the descriptions of other alternative methods for communication to be helpful for future work with other people who have special needs.
		From that idea Morse eventually created the code that bears his name and the invention that made him immortal. What is most fascinating about this juvenile biography is that Alter gives a view of both Morse the struggling artist and Morse the struggling inventor.
