Subject: RE: [emergency] Kent State Symbology Study

Note 
that the definitions of symbols as abstract (indexical or symbolic) or 
replicative (iconic) may be better 
classified in semiotic theory from Peirce.  See 

 
http://www.jfsowa.com/pubs/signproc.htm
 
"In classifying signs, Peirce used 
his trichotomy to subdivide the sign relation into the triad of icon, 
index and symbol: an icon represents an object by its inherent form, 
which resembles the intended object; an index represents its object by some 
causal relationship, such as a pointing finger, a weather vane, or a dial on a 
meter; and a symbol represents its object by a convention established by some 
community."
