Sung, List, Working on a TGIF deadline to get some other business done, so only time for a few words & an "Exercise for the Reader". It is common to speak of icon/index/symbol as forming a "trichotomy", but in truth its genealogy is that of a genus and two of its species. Symbols are the generic examples of what it takes to be a sign in an (object, sign, interpretant) triple in a triadic sign relation, while icons and indices are less generic, more specialized, "nearly dyadic" in the sense that their dyadic denotation relations figure saliently in their use while the virtues whereby they denote their objects and receive their interpretants recede into the ground of their gestalts. But icons and indices are still signs of the Peircean brand, and as such components of elements of triadic sign relations. Icons are icons only because they are interpreted as icons and indices are indices only because they are interpreted as indices. The interpretive character of the genus is visited on the species. But we constantly see that even these taxons intermingle and overlap — they are not the slices of a pie but the aspects or facets of a gem. Regards, Jon Sungchul Ji wrote:
Jon "Trying to comprehend triadic relations by means of their projective trichotomies is a project ultimately doomed to fail." A couple of concrete examples would help in understanding what you mean by the doomed failure you are referring to. With all the best.
