One example of dynamic semiosis: "the Fox" and his many adventures.
The
representamen
, first dimension of a sign according to Peirce
(see
Berthelin and Piotrowski, 2001
and our
right-hand page
)
: for instance, the text of a fable about a fox.
the
objet
, a third
term, is the notion
of "a fox"
thus constructed.
The various
interpretants
are other constructions envisioned by the sign's recipient, such as other fables with a fox.
