| 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.

Paul Ricoeur on Signs - Dictionary of Arguments
I 24 Sign/Meaning /Expression/Naming/Ricoeur: [there is] a duality in the sign (...) a) structural duality of sensual sign and the meaning it carries b) intentional duality of sign and thing or named object. On the one hand, words which are phonetically different depending on the language have identical meanings, on the other hand, these meanings cause the sensual signs to stand for something they name; we say that words express meanings because of their sensual quality and that, thanks to their meaning, they name something. I 25 Designation/designation/Ricoeur: the word "designate" includes these two pairs, that of the expression and that of the designation. It is not this dualism that the symbol is about. >Symbol/Ricoeur._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
