Semiotics and the study of Signs

This is not a pipe

Play on "The Betrayal of Images" by René Magritte

"A sign is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. It addresses somebody, that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. The sign which it creates I call the interpretant of the first sign. The sign stands for something, its object." - Charles Sanders Peirce
