Abstract

The article investigates emotions from a semeiotic perspective. The American philosopher Charles S. Peirce (1839–1914) defined the emotion as a legisign, which is a lawsign (cf. Savan 1981). Since the emotion is a general sign, it can be valorized; it can be identified, communicated, and reexperienced. Based on this semeiotic-inspired definition, we investigate community caused and created by emotions or rather the effects upon minds caused by emotions. We believe that any community carries an emotional center — a so-called Fundamental sign.
