An Introduction to Semiotic-Conceptual Analysis with Formal Concept Analysis
Uta Priss · Concept Lattices and their Applications · 2015
This paper presents a formalisation of Peirce's notion of 'sign' using a triadic relation with a functional dependency. The three sign components are then modelled as concepts in lattices which are connected via a semiotic map- ping. We call the study of relationships relating to semiotic systems modelled in this manner a semiotic-conceptual analysis. It is argued that semiotic-conceptual analyses allow for a variety of applications and serve as a unifying framework for a number of previously presented applications of FCA.
