Sign (semiotics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Peirce explained that signs mediate the relationship between their objects and their interpretants in a triadic mental process. There is neither a natural relationship between a word and the object it refers to, nor is there a causal relationship between the inherent properties of the object and the nature of the sign used to denote it. The triadic relation between the ground, object, and interpretant of a sign may have its own signification, which may produce another triadic relation between the relation itself, its signfication, and the interpretation of that signification. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sign_(semiotics)   (1472 words)

Volume 1 Introduction That is, sign action or semeiosis (as distinguished from dyadic mechanical action) involves an irreducibly triadic relation between (1) a sign, (2) its object, and (3) its interpretant. In his many definifions, early and late, the nearest to a constant is that a sign is a first something so determined (limited, specialized) by a second something, called its object, as to determine a third something, called its interpretant, to determination by the same object. His most frequent single occasion for defining a sign is that of a logician for whom logic is "the critic of arguments" and arguments are a kind of signs. www.iupui.edu /~peirce/writings/v1/v1introx.htm   (6278 words)

Fernando Andacht, "A Semiotic Framework for the Social Imaginary", at ARISBE: THE PEIRCE GATEWAY Translated in terms of the triadic sign relation this means that 'an interpretant is simply the addressing of an impression to a concept', as one of the drafts of the "New List" of 1867 puts it. In its most general form, transvaluation is a rule-like semiosis which revaluates the perceived, imagined, or conceived markedness and rank relations of a referent as delimited by the rank and markedness relations of the system of its signans and the teleology of the sign user. There must be one of the three, at least say C, which establishes a relation between the other two, A and B. The result is that A and B are in a dyadic relation, and C may be ignored, even if it cannot be supposed absent. members.door.net /arisbe/menu/library/aboutcsp/andacht/socimagn.htm   (8741 words)

Physics and Astronomy Glossary In algebra the equal sign stands between two algebraic expressions and indicates that two expressions are related by a reflexive, symmetric and transitive relation. But the fact that this relation can be experimentally tested, and possibly be shown to be false (under certain conditions) demonstrates that it is more than a mere definition. The mathematical expressions on either side of the '=' sign are mathematically identical and interchangeable in equations. www.physlink.com /Reference/Glossary.cfm   (8054 words)

Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The binary relation "is approximately equal" between real numbers or other things, even if more precisely defined, is not transitive (it may seem so at first sight, but many small differences can add up to something big). Given a set A, the restriction of equality to the set A is a binary relation, which is at once reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, and transitive. A statement that two expressions denote equal quantities is an equation. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Equal+(math)   (679 words)

analysis In how her singing can be identified as iconic, in the sign in relation to the object, or second Trichotomy, Fraser sings as though she is an additional instrument, and thus is an icon of a synthesizer or other instrument. The indexing of her emotional state as she delivers the lyrics, or even changes the lyrics according to her state of being, is of the 2ndness level as in the second trichotomy, the relation to the sign to the object. Her singing like the synthesizer on a harmonious higher or lower note would be iconic in nature, a qualisign unto itself, and the joyful delivery would be the index of Fraser’s mood as she thinks about the before show experience. www.scribblemedia.com /~leesa/cocteautwins/cHTML/analysis.htm   (679 words)

Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul - Esoteric Astrology - II - Virgo, the Virgin The relation existing between Virgo and Pisces (between the Virgin Mother and the Fish Goddesses) is well known, for they are polar opposites and their functions are interchangeable in a peculiar manner. The fact that all four energies of the Mutable Cross, three of the Fixed Cross and two of the Cardinal Cross pour into the sign Virgo in relative degrees and potencies indicates the fundamental importance of this "sign of reception" as it is called. One point of interest emerges: All the four arms of the Mutable Cross are represented in this interrelation, indicating [279] the completed activity of the Mutable Cross or of the preparatory stage of evolution which has successfully prepared the man for mounting the Fixed Cross. laluni.helloyou.ws /netnews/bk/astrology/astr1102.html   (679 words)

Sun & Star Signs in the Zodiac A skilled Astrologer interprets the positions of these planets and their relation to the 12 Astrological signs of the Zodiac. "Sun Signs" or "Your Stars", popular in magazines and newspapers since the 1930's are a basic form of Astrology that only uses the position of the Sun in your Birth Chart (Horoscope) to glimpse your character and coming events. A Horoscope is really a diagram that depicts the position of the planets in relation to the earth at the time of birth of an individual, or even the time of a specific event. www.annabelburton.com /sun_signs.html   (679 words)

USE OF A TRADE MARK, AND RIGHTS GIVEN BY REGISTRATION OF A TRADE MARK If a trade mark contains or consists of a sign that indicates to persons in the relevant trade a product or service in general, rather than a product or service from one particular trade source, then it is considered to have become generic and loses its protection under section 24 of the Act. The criteria for what constitutes use of a trade mark in relation to goods and/or services for the purposes of the Act are defined in sections 6, 7, 8, 17 and 228 of the Act. Similarly if any act is done in Australia to export goods and/or services which, if done in relation to goods and/or services in Australia it would constitute use of a trade mark, then that act is use of the trade mark for the purposes of the Act. xeno.ipaustralia.gov.au /D:/Exmanual/pt10_19/part19.htm   (679 words)

JILT 2003 (1): Bainbridge Furthermore, infringement may come about where a sign that is identical or similar to a registered trademark of repute is used in the course of trade in relation to non-similar goods or services.7 The right conferred by a Community trademark is equivalent though it extends to the entire territory of the European Community. This is particularly so in respect of registrable intellectual property rights and there have been a number of cases, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom where questions of jurisdiction have been addressed in relation to signs placed on websites identical to or similar to trademarks registered in other jurisdictions. Where signs identical to or similar to registered trademark are used, it is tolerably clear whether that use infringes or possibly infringes.2 However, in the context of using on the internet signs identical to or similar to registered trademarks, infringement is far less predictable. elj.warwick.ac.uk /jilt/03-1/bainbridge.htm   (679 words)

Visual Rhetoric/Semiotics and Visual Rhetoric - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks Semiotics is defined as the study of signs and sign systems. Cultural visual rhetoric relies heavily upon signs because of how important signs are to every person in the world, and their culture has a big impact on their use and interpretation of signs. Therefore if semiotics is the study of signs, then semiotics is really a study of the building blocks of visual rhetoric. en.wikibooks.org /wiki/Semiotics_and_Visual_Rhetoric   (617 words)

Antisymmetric - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In linear algebra and theoretical physics, the adjective antisymmetric (or skew-symmetric) is used for matrices, tensors, and other objects that change sign if an appropriate operation (usually the exchange of two indices, which becomes the transposition of the matrix) is performed. In set theory, the adjective antisymmetric usually refers to an antisymmetric relation. The term "antisymmetric function" is sometimes used for odd function, although some meanings of antisymmetric are essentiality f(y,x) = -f (x,y). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Antisymmetric   (157 words)

Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In a Euclidean system, congruence is fundamental; it's the counterpart of an equals sign in numerical analysis. Two triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are equal. If the hypotenuse and a certain leg of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of a different triangle, the two triangles are congruent. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Congruence_(geometry)   (426 words)

minus - definition by dict.die.net Negative quantity (Alg.), a quantity preceded by the negative sign, or which stands in the relation indicated by this sign to some other quantity. Minus sign (Math.), the sign [-] denoting minus, or less, prefixed to negative quantities, or quantities to be subtracted. Formerly, according to Franklin's theory of a single electric fluid, negative electricity was supposed to be electricity in a degree below saturation, or the natural amount for a given body. dict.die.net /minus   (343 words)

Semiotic Terms A proper sign where the motivation is due to some kind of physical connection or causal relation between the signified and siginifier. A proper sign where the motivation is due to some kind of physical resemblance or similarity between the signified and siginifier.

Michael Kroeger Semiotics by Thomas Ockerse Through the sign or semiotic discipline we are compelled to ask the right questions - from the client and from ourselves - which can unravel what otherwise appears as mystical. Indexical signs, by the way, are the most interesting of all three because the conceptual leap one's mind has to make, which makes one more actively involved in the sign. The semiotic model of sign allows us to put these three components in a logical perspective: the three are not actually separate but interdependent in an hierarchical fashion. www.mkgraphic.com /semiotics.html   (2330 words)

Rational Mathematics: Relations This type of compound relation is often denoted by combining the symbol for R with the equality sign. Thus a relation R can be also represented in truth-table form, where the rows are labelled with the elements of X and the columns with the elements of Y and the table entries are 1 or 0 according as (a, b) are related by R or not. Simple relations can often helpfully be represented by network diagrams, in which the elements of XuY are denoted by marked and labelled points, and the pair (x, y) in R is denoted by an arrowed line joining point x to point y. homepage.ntlworld.com /gpjnow/RM2-relations.htm   (976 words)

minus - definition by dict.die.net Negative quantity (Alg.), a quantity preceded by the negative sign, or which stands in the relation indicated by this sign to some other quantity. Minus sign (Math.), the sign [-] denoting minus, or less, prefixed to negative quantities, or quantities to be subtracted. Note: This word, derived from electro-negative, is now commonly used in a more general sense, when acidiferous is the intended signification. dict.die.net /minus   (343 words)

Using The Matrix Sign Function To Compute Invariant Subspaces - Bai, Demmel (ResearchIndex) 20 The matrix sign decomposition and its relation to the polar.. In this paper, we present a new perturbation theory for the matrix sign function, the conditioning of its computation, the numerical stability of the divide-and-conquer algorithm, and iterative refinement schemes. However, the numericalbehavior of the matrix sign function, and its associated divideand -conquer algorithm for computing invariant subspaces, are still not completely understood. citeseer.ist.psu.edu /14000.html   (808 words)

Earliest Uses of Symbols of Relation The significance of the inequality signs lies in the fact that this is the first time that such signs were used and accorded the same status as the equality sign. Similarity, equality is denoted in the manuscripts by II and not by = (the sign introduced by Robert Recorde), as in the Praxis. In printed books before the modern equal sign, equality was usually expressed with a word, such as aequales, aequantur, esgale, faciunt, ghelijck, or gleich, and sometimes by the abbreviated form aeq (Cajori vol. members.aol.com /jeff570/relation.html   (654 words)

sign language A character indicating the relation of quantities, or an operation performed upon them; as, the sign + (plus); the sign -- (minus); the sign of division ÷, and the like. The term sign is often further restricted to the purely local evidences of disease afforded by direct examination of the organs involved, as distinguished from those evidence of general disturbance afforded by observation of the temperature, pulse, etc. &fist; Educaters of the deaf distinguish between natural signs, which serve for communicating ideas, and methodical, or systematic, signs, adapted for the dictation, or the rendering, of written language, word by word; and thus the signs are to be distinguished from the manual alphabet, by which words are spelled on the fingers. www.aslsignlanguage.com   (654 words)

Astrology - star signs Surprisingly, the readings specifically state that the signs themselves are of minimal importance, stressing instead the placement of the planets and their relation to the ascendant and zenith of the chart, as well as the significance (in many, but not all cases) of being cusp-born. Every individual's astrological character is a combination of the house, sign and planet according to the picture of the heavens on the day of his or her birth. Each sign has its own influence when combined in meaning with whatever house it happens to be in at the time of transit. www.meaningoflife.i12.com /Star%20Signs.htm   (654 words)

shtcrs.html In fact most semiotic inquiry that focuses upon the equivalence relation between signs and objects use language as a model for other systems of significance; that is, other systems of equivalence codes were treated as if they were linguistic codes (possessing rules of grammar and representation, for example). It is the use of signs which separates the living world from the nonliving; that is, all encounters of living organisms with their environment is through signs. If signs stand for other things, such that these other things are brought to mind when the sign is used, then we have a case where a system of signs acts as some code for some system of objects. www.indiana.edu /~educp550/shtcrs.html   (3980 words)

The Cross We believed the cross symbol to be worthy of exploration, particularly in relation to art. Is this an example of the cross sign, a numenistic archetype, title and postmodern medium, moving us toward an era of syncretism;7 asking us to accept an amalgamation, a harmonic concurrence of fact and fiction? The `Cross Function in Contemporary Art' is an attempt to discern this meaning, to place it in a position relative to modern art and to understand the perspective often intimated, but rarely documented, by the artist. www.subgravity.free-online.co.uk /html/the_cross.html   (3980 words)

Vinland Map Tartar Relation does not refer to the map at all, yet the supposed proof that the map is fifteenth century is largely based on its being found inside a book of that era. The Tartar Relation that had recently been rebound with the VM when it first came to light in 1957 is an account of Friar John de Plano Carpini's 1245-7 mission to the empire of the Mongols. At this date, only an Italian humanistic script would have the æ diphthong written out, and neither the Vinland Map nor the related texts in their script evince any other sign of either humanistic or Italian influence" (p. www.econ.ohio-state.edu /jhm/arch/vinland/vinland.htm   (254 words)

Why is the U.S. Dollar's sign the $ sign? - Neowin.net The dollar sign could therefore have arisen from superimposing the U over the S. The other theory also involves a superimposition, but this time with the word "peso." A distorted P over the S could be another possibility. One used to see the dollar sign with two vertical lines much more commonly but now it's a rarity. What relation does an S with a line through it have with the word "dollar"? www.neowin.net /forum/index.php?s=608d24f0c93915f34813cbf18331e5aa&showtopic=310341&pid=585795669&st=0&   (686 words)
