Edwina, lists, In the ten-sign list of the Syllabus, the Dicent Symbolic Legisign is but one of three types of Dicisigns. So you can not identify the two. I discuss the other two, Dicent Indexical Sinsign and Dicent Indexical Sinsign, in the chapter. Best F
Den 24/09/2014 kl. 15.16 skrev Edwina Taborsky <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> : I'm confused by this argument. My understanding of 'symbol' is that it refers to a singular and specific relation; that between the Representamen and the Object - which can be 'iconic, indexical or symbolic'. The dicisign, on the other hand, is the full triad, a dicent symbolic legisign - i.e. all three parts of the triad (Object-Representamen-Interpretant) are involved. Therefore, I am confused by the reference below to 'symbol' and 'does not mention the dicisign at all'. The two are not comparable in my view. And how can a dicisign - which i understand to mean a 'dicent symbolic legisign' be 'non-symbolic'? Or are you referring to the dicent indexical legisign? My apologies for the confusion. Edwina
