Signs: signs are recognizable and definable forms that an observer can assign to two domains. The first domain is the repertoire of available forms that allows a distinction of similarity and dissimilarity within this domain, the second domain is a set of objects which also distinguishes between similarity and dissimilarity between these objects as well as distinguishing the objects of the second domain from the forms of the first domain. There are no signs without observation or interpretation. See also language, words, symbols, icons, systems, image, image theory, pictures, assignment._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Rudolf Carnap on Signs - Dictionary of Arguments
VI 60 Characters/signs/Carnap: three kinds: 1. the character itself (enclosed in double quotes, for example if its spelling will be discussed) - 2nd argument character (in brackets) if its meaning is at stake - e.g. the notion ‹7›. (We can also use ›VII›, but not ‹5+2›: 3. meaning characters (brackets) e.g. "[7] is odd" - here we can also use [5 + 2] and [VII]. Habermas III 373 Signs/Carnap/Habermas: after Karl Bühler viewed the complex of symbols only functionally, Carnap made it accessible under syntactic and semantic aspects of an internal language analysis. It is not the isolated sign that carries meanings, but elements of a language system, i.e. sentences whose form is determined by syntactic rules and whose semantic content is determined by the reference to designated objects or facts._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
