  1. R-111 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Deixis → Index

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Deictic expressions take their reference from the situation of utterance. They illustrate situational indexicality within a wider class of signs that depend on a real connection.

    Icon → Index

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An icon signifies through a relevant resemblance. An index signifies through an actual connection to what it points to. A single sign can work in both ways, so the analysis identifies the grounds for each reading.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Indexicality depends on a real or situational connection, while iconicity depends on resemblance. A sign can combine both kinds of relation.

    Index → Symbol

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An index is interpreted through a real connection. A symbol can be interpreted through a learned association. In both cases interpretation matters, and the basis of the relation differs.

  5. R-234 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Index → Deixis

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Deixis concerns expressions whose reference depends on the situation of utterance. In semiotics, an index relies on an actual connection and can be non-linguistic. The two approaches meet when an expression points to a person, place or time in the situation.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A trace can serve as an index of an earlier event if there is reason to believe that the event produced it. A replica may resemble the original trace while pointing to the process that made the replica.

    Interpretant → Index

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A real connection can make something an index, but it still has to be interpreted. The interpretant is the mediating effect or further sign within the triadic model. It differs from the person who interprets.

  8. R-317 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Metonymy → Index

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Metonymy can use real connections between entities. That makes some metonymies comparable to indexical reference, whose theoretical criteria still have to be examined.

    Semiosis → Index

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Indexical relations can be interpreted within semiosis. Semiosis concerns how meaning arises in that process. An index is characterised by the connection to its object.

    Triadic sign model (Peirce) → Index

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An index depends on an actual or situational connection. In a triadic model its operation as a sign also depends on how that connection is interpreted.
