The
Semiologia Semiologia according to Peirce and Saussure The Semiologia is the science that studies the
systems of
signs, as the languages, the codes, the signallings, etc. This definition includes the language as part of the semiologia. "the semiologia is the study of the systems of not linguistic signs". The semiologia was conceived by Ferdinand Saussure as the "science that studies the life of the signs in the seio of the social life".
“The language is a system of signs stating ideas, and for such comparable one to the writing, the alphabet of the deaf person-dumb, the symbolic rites, formulas of courtesy, the military signals, etc. Only that the language is most important of these systems. A science can therefore be conceived that studies the life of the signs in the seio of the social life, that would form a part of general psychology; we will give the semiologia name to it (of the Greek semeiôn). She will be it to show to us of whom they consist the signs, that laws conduct them. Given E that still does not exist, if cannot say what it will come to be; but it has right to the existence, its place already is determined. The linguistics is not more of the one than a part of this general science - the laws that the semiologia will disclose will be applicable to the linguistics, and this will be thus on to a clear-cut domain in the set of the human facts ". (The Semiologia, Pierre Guiraud, pg. 8)
At the same time Charles Sanders Peirce, it in a similar way conceived a general theory of the signs under the semiotics name. Saussure puts the accent in the
function of the sign, Peirce on the logical function. But the two aspects are in narrow correlation and the words semiologia and semiotics recover the same one today discipline, being the first used term for the Europeans, and as the term for the Anglo-Saxons. The philosophers most cautious face only the study of the systems of
communication for not linguistic signals. Other followers of Saussure extend to the code and sign notion the communication forms such as the rites, ceremonies, formulas of courtesy, etc. The function of the sign is to communicate ideas for intermediary of messages, Roman Jakobson defined six linguistic functions, is they:
Referencial function - it
defines the relations between the
message and the object the one that if it relates.
Emotiva function - it defines the relations between the message and the sender.
Function Conativa or Injuntiva - it defines the relations between the message and the receiver, since all the communication has for purpose to get of a this last reaction.
Poetical or Aesthetic function - it is defined as the relation of the message I obtain exactly.
Fática function - affirming has for purpose, keeping or cutting the communication.
Metalingüística function - it has for purpose to define the direction of the signs that can not be understood by the receiver.
An example of the meaning of the signs is the letters of baralho, that the cartomantes translate of the following form:
Pantries and Woods - they are favorable.
Ouros and Espadas - they are favorable.
Pantries - to love and success assign.
Woods - it assigns to friendship and money.
Ouros - it assigns lies, trips and notice.
Swords - it assigns to the jealousy and the failure.
Already the king, the lady and valete, represent a man, a woman and a young.
