Day 26

One picture or series of one thing, for 30 days. This is day 26.



This blog is about helping. Please help if you can.

Cognitive Semiotics is science of recognizable signs. Cognition relates to the process of thought, and the word "semiotics" is derived from the Greek word "semiotikos" meaning "interpreter of signs (or gestures)." Cognitive semiotics can be said to be the study of how meaning is constructed and understood through the communication of signs and symbols.

The main research areas in semiotics are meaningful gestures and symbols, while recognizable gestures and symbols are a part of cognitive semiotics.

Usability has much interdependency with cognitive semiotics. Users can relate to most easily understandable signs and symbols.

John Locke would define cognitive semiotics as doctrine of recognizable signs.

Emmm.... ok... you all got that, yeah?

Well this guy here (look down) is a brilliant mind that is off to study cognitive semiotics at an official elite masters course in Denmark. There are a few thousand masters courses in Denmark but only 6 official elite courses. Yes. Elite.




Help him find a summer job in Dublin so he can try and go study cognitive semiotics. Some of us should stay brilliant. For the sake of humankind. :O)

Pass it on. Thank you.

P.S.: He also happens to be my brother.
