qualisign Philos.|ˈkwɒlɪsaɪn|
[f. quality + sign n.]
A term originally used by C. S. Peirce in his theory of signs (see quot. a 1914).
a1914C. S. Peirce Coll. Papers (1932) II. 142 Signs are divisible by three trichotomies; first, according as the sign itself is a mere quality, is an actual existent, or is a general law... A sign may be termed a Qualisign, a Sinsign, or a Legisign... A Qualisign is a quality which is a Sign. It cannot actually act as a sign until it is embodied; but the embodiment has nothing to do with its character as a sign. 1934Mind XLIII. 496 The specific quality of voice by which I recognise a friend (a qualisign) must be embodied in some particular event. 1936Jrnl. Philos. 17 Dec. 702 It is pretty plain that Miss Stebbing means by ‘type-word’ what we call a ‘word’ and she does not recognize our category of ‘word-type’ or Peirce's ‘qualisign’. 1966J. J. Fitzgerald Peirce's Theory of Signs iii. 65 The division into Qualisign, Sinsign, and Legisign, is based on the mode of existence of the sign vehicle, not on any relationship within the triad. |
