Abstract
The correspondence between the triadic sign model proposed by Peirce and the dyadic sign model proposed by Saussure is examined. Traditionally, it has been thought that Peirce's interpretant corresponds to Saussure's signified and Saussure's model lacks Peirce's object. However, our analysis of the two most widely used computer programming paradigms suggests that Peirce's object formally corresponds to Saussure's signified, and that Saussure's sign model is obtained when Peirce's interpretant is located outside of his model in the language system.
