A Multiresolutional Approach to Fuzzy Text Meaning

Abstract The present paper focuses on the connotative meaning aspect of language signs on the level of texts. The view is taken that texts can be defined as a kind of supersign, to which ‐ in the same way as to other signs ‐ a meaning can be assigned. A text can therefore be described as the result of a sign articulation which connects the material text sign with a corresponding meaning. For the constitution of the structural text meaning, a kind of a semiotic composition principle is responsible, which leads to the emergence of interlocked levels of language units, demonstrating different grades of resolution. Starting on the level of words, and going through the level of sentences, this principle finally reaches the level of texts by aggregating step by step the meaning of a unit on a higher level out of the meanings of all components one level below, which occur within this unit. In addition, this article will elaborate the hypothesis that the meaning constitution as a two‐stage process, corresponding ...
