Sebeok's Semiosic Universe and Global Semiotics
On the belief that the universe is a semiosic web Sebeok placed no limits on semiotic inquiry as he chose to conduct it. In terms of fields of semiosis and objects of analysis Sebeok’s interests ranged from his studies in biology to his reflections relatively to lingusitics, cybernetics, and artificial intelligence, his musements relatively to narrative esthetic signs, his interest in ecology a...
متن کاملInstrument Semiotics
In this and the following companion paper, Tearing Interfaces Apart, we shall present a theoretical semiotic analysis of interfaces and demonstrate how this analysis can be coupled to an empirical analysis of a work domain and its changing needs for information. The work domain is maritime maneuvering and navigation. We do this by exploiting two senses of the concept “analysis”. “Analysis” mean...
متن کاملAn Approach to Computational Semiotics
The aim of this paper is to introduce the theoretical foundations of an approach for intelligent systems development. Derived from semiotics, a classic discipline in human sciences, the theory developed provides a mathematical framework for the concept of knowledge and for knowledge processing. As a result, a new perspective to study and to develop intelligent systems emerges. A taxonomy of ele...
متن کاملExperimental Semiotics
In the last few years, researchers have begun to study novel human communication systems in the laboratory (Experimental Semiotics, ES). The first goal of this article is to provide a primer to ES, which we will do by reviewing the experimental paradigms developed by experimental semioticians, as well as the main research themes that have emerged in the discipline. A second goal is to illustrat...
متن کاملComputer Semiotics
This paper presents semiotics as a framework for unders tanding and designing computer systems as sign systems. Although semiotic methods can be applied to all levels of computer systems, they view computer systems under a particular perspective, namely as targets of interpretations. When we need to see c o m p u t e r systems as automata, semiotics has little to offer. The main focus of the pa...
