Charles Sanders Peirce

Charles Sanders Peirce (September 10, 1839 – April 19, 1914) was an American scientist, mathematician, logician, and philosopher who is sometimes known as "the father of pragmatism".

See Meaning (semiotics) and Charles Sanders Peirce

A connotation is a commonly understood cultural or emotional association that any given word or phrase carries, in addition to its explicit or literal meaning, which is its denotation. Meaning (semiotics) and connotation are meaning (philosophy of language).

See Meaning (semiotics) and Connotation

Connotation (semiotics)

In semiotics, connotation arises when the denotative relationship between a signifier and its signified is inadequate to serve the needs of the community.

See Meaning (semiotics) and Connotation (semiotics)

Denotation

In linguistics and philosophy, the denotation of a word or expression is its strictly literal meaning. Meaning (semiotics) and denotation are concepts in the philosophy of language and meaning (philosophy of language).

Denotation (semiotics)

In semiotics, denotation is the surface or the literal meaning, the definition most likely to appear in a dictionary.

Denotational semantics

In computer science, denotational semantics (initially known as mathematical semantics or Scott–Strachey semantics) is an approach of formalizing the meanings of programming languages by constructing mathematical objects (called denotations) that describe the meanings of expressions from the languages.

Etiquette in Japan

Etiquette in Japan forms common societal expectations of social behavior practiced throughout the nation of Japan.

Ideasthesia

Ideasthesia (alternative spelling ideaesthesia) is a neuropsychological phenomenon in which activations of concepts (inducers) evoke perception-like sensory experiences (concurrents).

Information theory

Information theory is the mathematical study of the quantification, storage, and communication of information.

See Meaning (semiotics) and Information theory

Logic of information

The logic of information, or the logical theory of information, considers the information content of logical signs and expressions along the lines initially developed by Charles Sanders Peirce.

Pragmatic maxim

The pragmatic maxim, also known as the maxim of pragmatism or the maxim of pragmaticism, is a maxim of logic formulated by Charles Sanders Peirce.

Pragmatics

In linguistics and related fields, pragmatics is the study of how context contributes to meaning.

Relation (mathematics)

In mathematics, a relation on a set may, or may not, hold between two given members of the set.

See Meaning (semiotics) and Relation (mathematics)

Semantics

Semantics is the study of linguistic meaning. Meaning (semiotics) and Semantics are meaning (philosophy of language).

See Meaning (semiotics) and Semantics

Semiosis

Semiosis, or sign process, is any form of activity, conduct, or process that involves signs, including the production of meaning.

See Meaning (semiotics) and Semiosis

Semiotics

Semiotics is the systematic study of sign processes and the communication of meaning.

See Meaning (semiotics) and Semiotics

Sign relation

A sign relation is the basic construct in the theory of signs, also known as semiotics, as developed by Charles Sanders Peirce.

See Meaning (semiotics) and Sign relation

Signified and signifier

In semiotics, signified and signifier (French: signifié and signifiant) are the two main components of a sign, where signified is what the sign represents or refers to, known as the "plane of content", and signifier which is the "plane of expression" or the observable aspects of the sign itself.

See Meaning (semiotics) and Signified and signifier

Silence

Silence is the absence of ambient audible sound, the emission of sounds of such low intensity that they do not draw attention to themselves, or the state of having ceased to produce sounds; this latter sense can be extended to apply to the cessation or absence of any form of communication, whether through speech or other medium.

See Meaning (semiotics) and Silence

Ternary relation

In mathematics, a ternary relation or triadic relation is a finitary relation in which the number of places in the relation is three.
