Annotation
M. introduces the distinction between syntactics (the study of the relations of signs to signs), semantics (the study of the relations between signs and the objects to which the signs are applicable), and pragmatics (the study of the relations between signs and their interpreters). Further, the unity of semiotic is discussed, as well as its problems and applications.
