Semiotic terminology and the terminology of semiotics: Basic angles
Semiotic terminology and the terminology of semiotics: Basic angles

Summary/Abstract: Randviir’s article chapter sets the background for the entire issue of terminology and concepts. The article outlines the principle importance of terminology in the shaping of scientific concepts and the employment of the latter in actual research. The basic issue lies in discussing items and the relations of items within the line “thing-object-sign-sign of sign (meta-sign)”. He points out the importance of continual interdisciplinary dialogue about concepts as the latter flow in the stream of both object- and metalanguage. In this light, he outlines differences between concepts for semiotics, concepts in semiotics, and semiotic concepts. Randviir’s basic academic interests involve semiotic modelling (“From systematic Semiotic modelling to pseudointentional reference”, 2019), semiotic terminology (“Sociosemiotics and metalanguage: The case of trans- languaging”, 2020), space (“Meaning and space: Semiosphere and spatialization of meaning”, 2015), and spatial modelling (“Space”, 2022).
