| Signs: signs are recognizable and definable forms that an observer can assign to two domains. The first domain is the repertoire of available forms that allows a distinction of similarity and dissimilarity within this domain, the second domain is a set of objects which also distinguishes between similarity and dissimilarity between these objects as well as distinguishing the objects of the second domain from the forms of the first domain. There are no signs without observation or interpretation. See also language, words, symbols, icons, systems, image, image theory, pictures, assignment._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||

Charles Sanders Peirce on Signs - Dictionary of Arguments
Berka I 29 Sign/Logic/Peirce: in Logic all three types of signs must occur. Symbols: without it there is no universality. Universality: essential for conclusions. >Icons/Peirce, >Icons, >Logic, >Conclusions. Berka I 30 Problem: a symbol alone says nothing about the subject matter. - A general term can only allude to an object. >Generality. Conclusion/Peirce: needs in addition to symbol (for truth) and index (both together (for sentence formation) the 3rd character: the icon: because inference consists in the observation that where certain relations exist, some other relations can be found. >Conclusion, >Symbols, >Icons, >Relations. These relations must be represented by an icon - e.g. the middle term of the syllogism must actually occur in both premises.(1) >Syllogisms, >Premises. Berka I 29 Symbol/Peirce: the symbol says nothing about the subject.(1) >Indexicality, >Ostension, >Pointing, >Ostensive definition. 1. Ch. S. Peirce, On the algebra of logic.
