Znak wobec znaku. Studium prakseosemiotyki krzyża

Abstract

The author’s interpretation of “a sign with reference to another sign” is based on the mul- tisemiological nature as well as on stating the rules of transitiveness and universality. Such a model of sign-to-sign relation accepts localization of topic centres both on the axis of simultaneity and on the axis of meanings. In their intersection there is a sacral sign in reference to which a universal sign, an artificial sign, and a political sign are situated. The model enables stating both inner relations within each sign as a whole and relations among particular signs (analogically to a language system). As a result it is possible to show a triple view of the world (objective, semantic, and associative-connotative) focused around a universal sign.
