Signic knowledge: its niche in semiotics and its various aspects
-
Yiqiang Jin
Abstract
Signic knowledge is a crucial link without which the sign as a phenomenon tumbles to the ground. This topic, however, can hardly be incorporated by any existing theory of semiotics. Under the framework of “the theory of intentional sign,” signic knowledge can find its proper niche as an element of the “context” of a sign process. This niche furnishes a good basis on which to investigate the various aspects of signic knowledge, like its role, nature, origin, and life. Signic knowledge can also be automatized or externalized, whose end results tend to create delusions that obscure the nature of the sign and lead semiotics astray.
