Abstract This paper explores a semiotic notion of body as starting point for bridging biosemiotic with social theory. The cornerstone the argument is that criticism classic view meaning double articulation can support language-centrism lies at foundation biosemiotics. Besides pragmatic epistemological advantages implicit in theoretical synthesis, I argue this brings contribution to philosophy m...

The constructionist social semiotics that we propose in this paper understands action from the perspective of communicative syntax, based on concept an interpretive adrift takes place at interface between emiter and receiver depending semantic context which various constructs are formed modified.
 In paper, will show origins can be found neurolinguistic programming - namely identifying sen...

Gesture is central to human interaction, depicted in art, taught in rhetoric, and studied as part of utterance. Gesture involves varying semiotic modalities and connections with speech. There are cultural particularities to its use and form, as well as ideological constructions of its appropriateness and expressive capacity.

This study investigates the effects of gaze and product salience in visual content, which can build engagement on social media. The variables used were semiotics, digital engagement, attitude, purchase intention. Two hundred participants recruited using Amazon Mechanical Turk. To see interaction between salience, a 2x2 experimental design was used. Regression to relationship with attitude offer...

We describe a new approach to interface design called algebraic semiotics, combining semiotics with algebraic speciication to give a rigorous theory of representation quality, and we apply it to the tatami distributed cooperative proving project. This project uses standard html, Java, etc. for remote proof browsing, servers for remote proof execution, a protocol to maintain truth of distributed...

In order to explore the usability and ease of use of icon design, the icon design method based on the combination of semiotics and user cognitive psychology is raised. Based on the principle of matching the icon design knowledge and user knowledge, the icon design process is analyzed from four dimensions, namely the semantic expression of elements, the structure of elements, the interface and c...

From a rural, sociological point of view no social theories have so far been able to grasp the ontological complexity and special character of a farm enterprise as an entity in a really satisfying way. The contention of this paper is that a combination of Luhmann’s theory of social systems and the actor-network theory (ANT) of Latour, Callon, and Law offers a new and radical framework for under...

Organisational Semiotics is a young discipline which emerged from the late 1980’s, for which Ronald Stamper’s contribution is significant and essential. This paper is to mark his role and contribution to this field of study. The paper is based on an interview with Ronald Stamper and research of relevant papers. It reviews briefly the history of the evolution of Organisational Semiotics; summari...

Information systems are increasingly subject to philosophical inquiry. It is both a sign of the IS discipline’s maturity and a response to social perplexities. An obvious candidate for a philosophy of information systems is semiotics. A serious obstacle, though, has been the reductionist development in the previous century of semiotics, thereby moving it away from phenomenology. Then, in its tu...
