Ícone e cognição

Unfortunately, the graduated variations of C. S. Peirce's concept of icon have been very little explored. Frequently, the concept is reduced to its simplest and most limited version, restricted to its position within the triad of icon, index, and symbol, even neglecting the elementary fact that the icon refers only to the relationship of the sign with its object of possible reference, and that this could be more productively understood when considering that, to be an icon, the sign can only be in itself a quali-sign and, in relation to the interpretant, a rheme. Moreover, hybrid forms of the icon with the classes of signs relating to secondness and thirdness are not usually explored. As if that weren't enough, the habit is to treat the icon in its aspect as a hypoicon, ignoring other possible variations of iconicity. Given these gaps, this text aims to analytically present the many possibilities of the semiotic functioning of the icon
