TL;DR: Despite its endless recourse to examples from the Highway Code and from advertising, semiological theory has tended to treat the visual image as an awkward exception, as something which does not quite fit the usual rules as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Despite its endless recourse to examples from the Highway Code and from advertising, semiological theory has tended to treat the visual image as an awkward exception, as something which does not quite fit the usual rules. The apparent guilelessness of visual imagery seems to make it harder for commentators to recognize the processes of naturalization at work. Ever since Saussure (despite his grand claims for an all-encompassing science of semiology) mistakenly refused to grant his nonlinguistic examples the arbitrariness he acknowledged in linguistic signs, analysis of the visual image has lagged behind that of the literary text. In recent years this has been particularly evident with regard to the notions of denotation and connotation.

TL;DR: In the psychoanalyst's view, the problem of how humans distort their world because of past experiences is a complex issue because humans can transcend simple perception and can therefore evoke a non-present situation or even create a new one as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Cognition concerns how humans reflect the real world in which they live. It is a complex issue because humans can transcend simple perception and can therefore evoke a nonpresent situation or even create a new one. Most often the concern of the psychoanalyst is how humans distort their world because of past experiences. Reality has been penetrated and known by humans through ever-advancing technology, the ultimate aim of which is perfecting the perception and the knowledge of the world. The reality external to the individual is called objective, and that reality mapped on the basis of the individual’s experience is called subjective. Subjective cognition comprises the knowledge not only of external reality, but also of the part of reality which we call internal and which constitutes the individual himself. The word cognition has a scientific connotation as opposed to terms such as consciousness, spirit or soul; it derives from the Latin prefix co which means ‘together, with,’ and gnoscere: ‘to come to know’. Implicit in the word cognition is the fact that knowledge is always a relationship. Dialectically, modern science has emphasized relationships as opposed to the old focus on isolated things or parts. Epistemology is the theory of the nature and grounds of knowledge and paradigms are the patterns followed by it.

TL;DR: If negligent is meant—with its connotation of culpability—then the word "negligent" should be used, and the term "inadvertence" does not convey that meaning to me, or to most people.
Abstract: To the Editor.— Despite Dr Mayhew 1 and Webster's Third New International Dictionary, The Oxford English Dictionary dates the use of inadvertent to mean unintentional to 1742— and the American Heritage Dictionary says it still means that. If negligent is meant—with its connotation of culpability—then the word "negligent" should be used. The term "inadvertence," by itself, does not convey that meaning to me, or to most people.
