For example, in a pragmatic theory of truth, one has to specify both the object of the sign, and either its interpreter or another sign called the interpretant before one can say that the sign is true of its object to its interpreting agent or sign.

In fact, Morris's interpretation of an interpretant, a term used in the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce, has been understood to be strictly psychological.

* Charles Sanders Peirce ( 1839 – 1914 ), a noted logician who founded philosophical pragmatism, defined semiosis as an irreducibly triadic process wherein something, as an object, logically determines or influences something as a sign to determine or influence something as an interpretation or interpretant, itself a sign, thus leading to further interpretants.

The other major semiotic theory developed by C. S. Peirce defines the sign as a triadic relation as " something that stands for something, to someone in some capacity " This means that a sign is a relation between the sign vehicle ( the specific physical form of the sign ), a sign object ( the aspect of the world that the sign carries meaning about ) and an interpretant ( the meaning of the sign as understood by an interpreter ).

An interpretant, in semiotics, is the effect of a sign on someone who reads or comprehends it.

The concept of " interpretant " is part of Charles Sanders Peirce's " triadic " theory of the sign.

For Peirce, the interpretant is an element that allows taking a representamen for the sign of an object, and is also the " effect " of the process of semeiosis or signification.

In the Peircean model, a reference is made to an object when the sign ( or representamen ) is interpreted recursively by another sign ( which becomes its interpretant ), a conception of meaning that does in fact imply a classification of sign types.

This caused some to argue that Morris misinterpreted Peirce by converting the interpretant into a logically existent thing.

Shapiro and Andrews have especially made connections between the semiotic of C. S. Peirce and markedness, treating it as “ as species of interpretant ” in Peirce ’ s sign-object-interpretant triad.

`` That is, if we can be sure this is Colcord's money '' --

It'll probably be at least an hour or two before I can check back with you.

Even as I said it I realized that an education can be invaluable.

Within their confines, moreover, technological and industrial growth has proceeded at an accelerated pace, thus increasing the cornucopia from which material wants can be satisfied.

And no messages can be transmitted on these circuits until senders and receivers authenticate in advance, by special codes, that the messages actually come from their purported sources.

Additional codes can be used to challenge and counterchallenge the authentications.

Nobody can be absolutely certain of the answers.

All can be connected with the gold circuit from their homes.

The box is internally wired so the door can never be opened without setting off a screeching klaxon ( `` It's real obnoxious '' ).

Unless all gadgets are properly operated -- and the wires and seals from the handles removed first -- no damage can be done.

I do not know if such a way of life can come to be a self-conscious challenge, but I suspect that it can.

As his disciples boast, even though his emphasis is elsewhere, Faulkner does show his awareness of the changing order of the South quite keenly, as can be proven by a quick recalling of his Sartoris and Snopes families.

An order can be chanced rather than chosen, and this approach produces an experience that is `` free and discovered rather than bound and remembered ''.

And any sequence can not only change its positions in the work but can even be eliminated from it altogether.

When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, without the base alloy of hypocrisy '' ( His emphasis )

Something of this can be learned from `` The Way To The Churchyard '' ( 1901 ), an anecdote about an old failure whose fit of anger at a passing cyclist causes him to die of a stroke or seizure.

Similarly experience itself can be conventionalized so that people react to certain preconceived clues for behavior without awareness of the vitality of their experiential field.

When words can be used in a more fresh and primitive way so that they strike with the force of sights and sounds, when tones of sound and colors of paint and the carven shape all strike the sensibilities with an undeniable force of data in and of themselves, compelling the observer into an attitude of attention, all this imitates the way experience itself in its deepest character strikes upon the door of consciousness and clamors for entrance.

You've already sent your daughter to Miss X's select academy for girls and your son to Mr. Y's select academy for boys, and you can be as liberal as you please with strict impunity.

In scope and power it can only be compared to Tolstoy's War And Peace.

However, for convenience we will stick to the idea that information can be classified according to Table 1.

Since the hazards of poor communication are so great, p can be justified as a habitable site only on the basis of unusual productivity such as is made available by a waterfall for milling purposes, a mine, or a sugar maple camp.

He can ( 1 ) point his car resolutely at the invading fender and force the other driver back into Lane A ; ;

This can be accomplished by several logical steps: ( 1 )

Therefore, under our longstanding allocation rules, on some of these channels no station other than the dominant ( class 1 ) -- A ) station is permitted to operate at night, so that the 1, -- A station can render service, interference free, wherever it can be received.

Additional class 2, assignments for daytime operation can be made without causing destructive interference to the class 1, stations or to each other, and by their operation provide additional service on these channels and additional local outlets for a large number of communities.

So with four complete Push-Pull Super-Sets No. 1, four of No. 2, four of No. 3 and four to six sets of the Incline Bench Press, you can see that Henri De Courcy has had a terrific mass-building, muscle-shaping, torso-defining workout that cannot be improved upon.

We can do this through the characteristic values and vectors of T in certain special cases, i.e., when the minimal polynomial for T factors over the scalar field F into a product of distinct monic polynomials of degree 1.

Therefore each binomial trial can be thought of as producing a value of a random variable associated with that trial and taking the values 0 and 1, with probabilities Q and P respectively.

The fact that there can not be any limit points of the set except in closed intervals follows from the argument used in Lemma 1, namely, that near any tangent point in the C-plane the curves C and Af are analytic, and therefore the difference between them must be a monotone function in some neighborhood on either side of the tangent point.

It is interesting that a 1: 1 correspondence can be established between the lines of two such pencils, so that in a sense a unique image can actually be assigned to each tangent.

But before we can do this, we must first find answers to our original questions 1 and 2 ; ;

Since we are considering here relatively small diameter ( 1 - 1.5 inches ) fiber plates, their average thickness can be kept below 1/4 inch and their internal losses may be assumed as 15 percent ( per plate ).

When the policy has been chosen, the state of the product can be obtained from the state of the feed by repeated application of the transformation ( 1 ) ; ;

In deciding on the enterprises to be managed by family labor, compare the amount of labor that can be supplied by the family with the labor needs of various enterprises listed in table 1.

Any needy family living in San Francisco can obtain toys by writing to Christmas Toys, 676 Howard street, San Francisco 5, and listing the parent's name and address and the age and sex of each child in the family between the ages of 1 and 12.
