TL;DR: Algebraic semiotics provides a formal tool for studying the systematic use of signs in computer systems, and for presenting formal comparisons of different interface designs.
Abstract: Goguen has proposed the use of semiotics to study the ways in which information is mediated in computer systems, particularly in user interfaces. His algebraic semiotics provides a formal tool for studying the systematic use of signs in computer systems, and for presenting formal comparisons of different interface designs. The formal elements of algebraic semiotics make it a kind of algebraic engineering for sign systems, and introduces an engineering rigour to interface design.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a detailed case study that elucidates the three ways in which the living body serves as sign for the growth of a second-grade student's geometric understanding and the other bodies he interacts with.
Abstract: The idea that mathematical knowledge is embodied is increasingly taking hold in the mathematics education literature. Yet there are challenges to the existing conceptualizations: There tend to be breaks between (a) the living and experienced body (flesh) and linguistic forms of thought, (b) individual and collective forms of knowing, and (c) the material body and the source of intentionality. Grounded in material phenomenology, we theorize the living body as semiotic expression that not only grounds thought but also leads to its development. We provide a detailed case study that elucidates the three ways in which the living body serves as sign for the growth of a second-grade student’s geometric understanding and the other bodies he interacts with.

TL;DR: In this paper, International Sign (IS) is viewed as both a translingual practice and a contact language which is subject to language contact with American Sign Language (ASL), and the perceived overuse of ASL in IS is often judged as counterproductive for IS to flourish independently from ASL.

TL;DR: A comparison of important concepts of both theories (isomorphism, the sign concept, compositionality, and case marking) shows that although Cognitive Grammar arrives at a more realistic understanding of how language works in discourse, the theory fails to offer a coherent theory of the linguistic sign.
Abstract: The theoretical and methodological underpinnings of the cognitive paradigm have traditionally been discussed against the background of generative grammar, its immediate predecessor. A significantly less researched yet no less interesting relationship is the one between the cognitive and structuralist paradigm. This article focuses on the in part converging, in part diverging semiotic assumptions underlying European structural linguistics and Cognitive Grammar. A comparison of important concepts of both theories (isomorphism, the sign concept, compositionality, and case marking) shows that, although Cognitive Grammar arrives at a more realistic understanding of how language works in discourse, the theory fails to offer a coherent theory of the linguistic sign.
