==Besondere Teilhand&shy;lungen beim Zei&shy;chen&shy;ge&shy;brauch==
==Special partial actions in the use of signs==
Da der Gebrauch eines [[Zeichen, Zeichenträger, Zeichensystem|Zeichens]] eine spezielle Form der [[Interaktion und Kommunikation|kommu&shy;nika&shy;tiven Inter&shy;aktion]] ist, lassen sich beson&shy;ders rele&shy;vante Aspek&shy;te (im Sinne von notwen&shy;digen Teil&shy;handlun&shy;gen) ableiten. Jede kommu&shy;nika&shy;tive Inter&shy;aktion muss einer&shy;seits Aspekte aufwei&shy;sen, die ihr als eine Art von Inter&shy;aktion zukommen. Im Wesent&shy;lichen handelt es sich dabei also um die An&shy;teile der jewei&shy;ligen Hand&shy;lungssche&shy;mata, die allen Inter&shy;aktio&shy;nen zukommen, wie die beiden Rollen ‘Sender’ und ‘Empfän&shy;ger’ und ganz gene&shy;rell die Gerich&shy;tetheit des Zeichens vom Sender an den Empfän&shy;ger sowie der Typ der Inter&shy;aktion. Dieser ''Inter&shy;aktions&shy;bezug'' der kommu&shy;nika&shy;tiven Inter&shy;aktion äußert sich insbe&shy;sondere darin, dass, wer ein Zeichen benutzt, sich damit immer an jemanden richtet, um etwas zu errei&shy;chen. Die Hand&shy;lungs­­&shy;kompo&shy;nenten, in denen der Inter&shy;aktions&shy;bezug vermittelt wird, sind die [[Illokution|Illo&shy;kutio&shy;nen]].
Since the use of a [[Zeichen, Zeichenträger, Zeichensystem|sign]] is a special form of [[Interaktion und Kommunikation|communicative interaction]], particularly relevant aspects (in the sense of necessary partial actions) can be derived. On the one hand, every communicative interaction must have aspects that belong to it as a type of interaction. Essentially, it is about the parts of the respective action schemata that all interactions share, such as the roles of ‘sender’ and ‘receiver’ and quite generally the direction of the sign from the sender to the receiver, as well as the type of interaction. This ''interactional angle'' of communicative interaction is expressed, in particular, in the fact that whoever uses a sign is always addressing someone to achieve something. The action components in which the interaction reference is conveyed are the [[Illokution|illocutions]].

Andererseits kommen einer Zeichen&shy;hand&shy;lung notwen&shy;diger&shy;weise Aspek&shy;te als einer ''kommu&shy;nika&shy;tiven'' Inter&shy;aktion zu, wozu insbe&shy;sondere die Selbst&shy;präsen&shy;tation gehört. Wer ein Zeichen benutzt, adres&shy;siert nicht nur einen Empfän&shy;ger; er muss sich dabei auch in beson&shy;derer Weise auf sich selbst, auf seinen [[Körper]] und dessen [[Kontext|Umge&shy;bung]], in der die Zeichen&shy;handlung statt&shy;findet, bezie&shy;hen. Die Hand&shy;lungskom&shy;ponen&shy;ten, in denen dieser ''Selbst&shy;bezug'' der kommu&shy;nika&shy;tiven Inter&shy;aktion vermit&shy;telt wird, bestim&shy;men unter anderem ihre [[Modalität|Moda&shy;lität]].  
On the other hand, a sign act necessarily has aspects of a ''communicative'' interaction, including self-presentation in particular. Anyone who uses a sign is not only addressing a recipient; in doing so, they must also relate in a special manner to themselves, to their [[Körper|body]], and the [[Kontext|situational embedding]], in which the action of the sign takes place. The action components in which this ''expressive angle'' of the communicative interaction is conveyed determine, among other things, its [[Modalität|modality]].

Die im Selbstbezug vorgeführte Befind&shy;lich&shy;keit des Senders kann sich schließ&shy;lich mit dem Gebrauch von Zeichen zur Wendung des Senders hin auf einen (auch fik&shy;tiven) Sach&shy;verhalt oder Gegen&shy;stand aus&shy;diffe&shy;renzie&shy;ren: Dieser Sach&shy;verhalt, jener Gegen&shy;stand werden dann durch das Zeichen ''[[Repräsentation|darge&shy;stellt]]''. Mit der Benut&shy;zung des Zeichens kann also Bezug genom&shy;men werden auf einen bestimm&shy;ten Sach&shy;verhalt, auf den der Sender die Auf&shy;merk&shy;sam&shy;keit des Empfän&shy;gers richten möchte. [[Proposition|Propo&shy;sitio&shy;nen]] bilden die Hand&shy;lungs&shy;kompo&shy;nenten, die den ''Sach&shy;bezug'' einer Zeichen&shy;handlung vermit&shy;teln. <ref>Eine stark ver&shy;ein&shy;fach&shy;te Fas&shy;sung der drei As&shy;pek&shy;te fin&shy;det sich im so&shy;ge&shy;nann&shy;ten „Or&shy;ga&shy;non-Mo&shy;dell“ (vgl. <bib id='Bühler 1933a'></bib>: S. 28f.). Der In&shy;ter&shy;ak&shy;tions&shy;be&shy;zug wird da&shy;bei ver&shy;kürzt auf den As&shy;pekt des ''Appell''s: das, was der Sen&shy;der beim Emp&shy;fän&shy;ger be&shy;wir&shy;ken will. Der Selbst&shy;be&shy;zug geht über in den As&shy;pekt des ''Aus&shy;druck''s: die Art und Wei&shy;se, wie der Sen&shy;der sich prä&shy;sen&shy;tiert. Der Sach&shy;be&shy;zug schließ&shy;lich er&shy;scheint in Form des As&shy;pekts der ''[[Darstellung|Dar&shy;stel&shy;lung]]'': das, wo&shy;rauf mit dem Zei&shy;chen (ver&shy;mit&shy;tels des Selbst&shy;be&shy;zugs) hin&shy;ge&shy;wie&shy;sen wird. Zu den drei As&shy;pek&shy;ten, die auch bei George H. Mead aus&shy;führ&shy;lich dis&shy;ku&shy;tiert wer&shy;den, vgl. <bib id='Ros 1984a'></bib>.</ref>  
The state of mind of the sender presented by the expressive angle can finally be differentiated with the use of signs to turn the sender towards an (also fictitious) fact or object: This fact, that object is then ''[[Repräsentation|represented]]'' by the sign. The use of the sign can therefore refer to a specific fact to which the sender wishes to draw the recipient's attention. [[Proposition|Propositions]] form the action components that convey the ''propositional angle'' of a sign action. [1]<ref>
A highly simplified version of the three angles can be found in the so-called „Organon model“ (cf. <bib id='Bühler 1933a'></bib>: p. 28f.). The interaction angle is reduced to the aspect of the ''appeal'': what the sender wants to achieve with the recipient. The expressive angle passes into the aspect of ''expression'': the way in which the sender presents themselves. Finally, the propositional angle appears in the form of the ''[[Darstellung|representation]]'' aspect: that to which the sign points (by means of the expressive angle). For the three aspects, which are also discussed in detail by George H. Mead, see <bib id='Ros 1984a'></bib>.</ref>  




==Interaktions-, Selbst- und Sach&shy;be&shy;zug bei der Bild&shy;ver&shy;wen&shy;dung ==
==Interactional, expressive, and propositional angles in the use of images ==


Das Problem der möglichen ''Inter&shy;aktions&shy;bezüge'' von Bildver&shy;wendun&shy;gen wird im Einzel&shy;nen in der [[Bildpragmatik|Bild&shy;pragma&shy;tik]] verhan&shy;delt (⊳ insbe&shy;sonde&shy;re [[Referenz, Denotation, Exemplifikation|Refe&shy;renz, Deno&shy;tation, Exemp&shy;lifi&shy;kation]]). Auf einer gene&shy;rellen Ebene betrifft das auch die Frage, ob es mög&shy;lich ist, eine grund&shy;legende illo&shy;kutio&shy;näre Funktion des Bild&shy;gebrauchs zu be&shy;stimmen, auf der alle ande&shy;ren Nutzun&shy;gen beru&shy;hen. In welchem Ver&shy;hältnis steht diese dann insbe&shy;sondere zum Be&shy;haupten (⊳ auch [[Kontextbildung|Kontext&shy;bildung]])?  
The problem of the possible ''interactional angles'' of image uses is dealt with in detail in [[Bildpragmatik|image pragmatics]] (⊳ in particular [[Referenz, Denotation, Exemplifikation|Reference, Denotation, Exemplification]]). On a general level, this also concerns the question of whether it is possible to identify a fundamental illocutionary function of image use on which all other uses are based. What is the relationship between this and the assertion in particular (for instance ⊳ [[Kontextbildung|Kontext Building]])?
:
:
Wie bei allen Zeichenhand&shy;lungen kann der Inter&shy;aktions&shy;bezug auch beim Bild&shy;gebrauch durch Inter&shy;nali&shy;sierung der jewei&shy;ligen Inter&shy;aktions&shy;partner modi&shy;fiziert werden: Der Bild&shy;nutzer kann beide Rollen gleich&shy;zeitig über&shy;nehmen und sich selbst einen Bild&shy;träger als Bild präsen&shy;tieren. Tatsäch&shy;lich über&shy;trifft die Anzahl solcher ''mono&shy;logischen'' Ver&shy;wendungs&shy;weisen die der echt ''dia&shy;logischen'' Bild&shy;kommu&shy;nika&shy;tionen bei weitem (⊳ auch [[Bildrezeption als Kommunikationsprozess|Bild&shy;rezep&shy;tion als Kommu&shy;nika&shy;tions&shy;prozess]]).
As with all sign acts, the interactional angle can also be modified in the use of images by internalizing the respective interaction partners: The image user can take on both roles at the same time and present themselves with an image carrier as an image. In fact, the number of such ''monological'' uses far exceeds that of genuinely ''dialogical'' image communication (⊳ also [[Bildrezeption als Kommunikationsprozess|Image reception as a communication process)]].
:
:
Der ''Selbstbezug'' der Bild&shy;verwen&shy;dung hängt weni&shy;ger von der Unter&shy;scheidung in Produ&shy;zent oder Rezi&shy;pient ab, wie man zunächst ver&shy;muten könnte, als viel&shy;mehr vom Bild&shy;typ:
The ''expressive angle'' of an image use depends less on the distinction between producer and recipient, as one might initially assume than on the type of image:


* Bei gegenständlich darstellen&shy;den Bildern lässt sich der Selbst&shy;bezug um&shy;schreiben als: ‘sich einem ande&shy;ren (oder sich selbst in der Rolle eines ande&shy;ren) gegen&shy;über dar&shy;stellen als jemand, der aktuell etwas sieht, von dem er weiß, dass es nicht tat&shy;säch&shy;lich anwe&shy;send ist’. Offen&shy;sicht&shy;lich sind hierbei der osten&shy;tative Sinn des Zeigens (‘sich einem ande&shy;ren – oder sich selbst in der Rolle eines ande&shy;ren – gegen&shy;über dar&shy;stellen als jemand’) und der deik&shy;tische Sinn des Zeigens (‘jeman&shy;dem – oder sich selbst in der Rolle eines ande&shy;ren – etwas wahr&shy;zuneh&shy;men geben’ auf ganz spezi&shy;fische Weise mit&shy;einan&shy;der verkop&shy;pelt: ⊳ [[Interaktion und Kommunikation|Inter&shy;aktion und Kommu&shy;nika&shy;tion]]). Diese Charak&shy;teri&shy;sierung des Selbst&shy;bezugs bei der Bild&shy;verwen&shy;dung muss gleicher&shy;maßen für den Bild&shy;produ&shy;zenten und den Bild&shy;rezi&shy;pienten gelten, da das Um&shy;gehen mit einem Bild&shy;träger nur dann ein Bild&shy;handeln sein kann, wenn es mit einem solchen Selbst&shy;bezug des Handeln&shy;den verbun&shy;den ist.  
* In figurative imagery, the expressive angle can be paraphrased as: ‘presenting oneself to another (or oneself in the role of another) as actually seeing something which one knows is not actually present’. The ostensive sense of pointing (‘presenting oneself to another – or oneself in the role of another – as someone’) and the deictic sense of pointing (‘to lead someone – or oneself in the role of someone else – to perceive something’) are evidently intertwined in a very specific way (⊳ [[Interaktion und Kommunikation|Interaction and Communication]]). This characterization of the expressive angle in the image use must apply equally to the image producer and the image recipient since dealing with an image carrier can only be an image act if it is connected with such a self-presentation of the agents.
* Für die metaphorisch darstellen&shy;den Bilder (⊳ [[Strukturbild|Struktur&shy;bilder]]) gilt: ‘sich einem ande&shy;ren (oder sich selbst in der Rolle eines ande&shy;ren) gegen&shy;über dar&shy;stellen als jemand, der aktuell etwas sieht, von dem er weiß, dass es an sich nicht sicht&shy;bar ist’ (⊳ auch [[Semantik logischer Bilder|Seman&shy;tik logi&shy;scher Bilder]]).<ref>Hier deu&shy;tet sich be&shy;reits an, dass die Struk&shy;tur&shy;bil&shy;der als all&shy;ge&shy;mei&shy;ne&shy;re Bild&shy;klas&shy;se be&shy;grif&shy;fen wer&shy;den kön&shy;nen, die die ge&shy;gen&shy;ständ&shy;lich dar&shy;stel&shy;len&shy;den Bil&shy;der als Spe&shy;zi&shy;al&shy;fall ein&shy;schließen. Denn et&shy;was, das nicht an&shy;we&shy;send ist, kann of&shy;fen&shy;sicht&shy;lich auch nicht ge&shy;se&shy;hen wer&shy;den, selbst wenn es an sich vi&shy;su&shy;ell wahr&shy;nehm&shy;bar ist. Als all&shy;ge&shy;mei&shy;ne For&shy;mu&shy;lie&shy;rung er&shy;gibt sich da&shy;her für den Selbst&shy;be&shy;zug bei Bild&shy;ge&shy;brauch: ‘Sich ei&shy;nem an&shy;de&shy;ren (oder sich selbst in der Rol&shy;le ei&shy;nes an&shy;de&shy;ren) ge&shy;gen&shy;ü&shy;ber dar&shy;stel&shy;len als je&shy;mand, der ak&shy;tu&shy;ell et&shy;was sieht, von dem er weiß, dass es – im ak&shy;tu&shy;el&shy;len Kon&shy;text oder ge&shy;ne&shy;rell – nicht sicht&shy;bar ist’.<br/>  
* For metaphorically depicting images (⊳ [[Strukturbild|Structural Images]]): ‘presenting oneself to another (or oneself in the role of another) as someone who currently sees something that he knows is not visible in itself’ (⊳ also [[Semantik logischer Bilder|Semantics of Logical Images]]).<ref>Here it is already indicated that the structural images can be understood as a more general class of images, which include the figurative images as a special case. For something that is not present obviously cannot be seen either, even if it is visually perceptible in itself. The general formulation for the expressive angle when using an image is therefore: ‘Presenting oneself to another (or oneself in the role of another) as someone who is currently seeing something that he knows is not visible – either in the current context or in general’.<br/>  
Die nicht in die bei&shy;den er&shy;wähn&shy;ten Klas&shy;sen fal&shy;len&shy;den Bil&shy;der müs&shy;sen [[Bild in reflexiver Verwendung|re&shy;fle&shy;xiv ge&shy;brauch&shy;te Bil&shy;der]] mit de&shy;fi&shy;zien&shy;ter Dar&shy;stel&shy;lungs&shy;funk&shy;tion sein (⊳ auch [[Semantik ungegenständlicher Bilder|Se&shy;man&shy;tik un&shy;ge&shy;gen&shy;ständ&shy;li&shy;cher Bil&shy;der]]).</ref>   
The images that do not fall into the two classes mentioned must be [[Bild in reflexiver Verwendung|reflectively used images]] with a deficient representational function (⊳ also [[Semantik ungegenständlicher Bilder|Semantics of non-representational images]]).</ref>

Zum ''Sachbezug'' von Bild&shy;verwen&shy;dungen muss man zu&shy;nächst fragen: Haben Bilder über&shy;haupt Sachbe&shy;zug? Wenn ja: Wie er&shy;reichen sie ihn?

With regard to the ''propositional angle'' of image uses, one must first ask: Do pictures have a propositional angle at all? If so, how do they accomplish it?

==Wahrhaftigkeit und Wahr&shy;heit==
==Truthfulness and truth==


Mit der Aufteilung in Inter&shy;aktions-, Selbst- und Sach&shy;bezug einer Zeichen&shy;handlung werden zwei wich&shy;tige Eigen&shy;schaften defi&shy;nierbar: Während ''Wahr&shy;haftig&shy;keit'' mit Inter&shy;aktions- und Selb&shy;stbezug verbun&shy;den ist und das Verhält&shy;nis zwischen der tatsäch&shy;lichen Absicht, die der Sender mit der Zeichen&shy;verwen&shy;dung verfolgt und der osten&shy;tativ gezeig&shy;ten Inten&shy;tion beur&shy;teilt, ist ''Wahr&shy;heit'' eine Bewer&shy;tung des Sach&shy;bezugs: Der Sach&shy;bezug einer Zeichen&shy;handlung kann mit den ent&shy;sprechen&shy;den Tat&shy;sachen überein&shy;stimmen oder nicht. Da Wahr&shy;haftig&shy;keit nicht vom Sach&shy;bezug abhängt, ist sie für alle kommu&shy;nika&shy;tiven Inter&shy;aktionen und damit auch für den Bild&shy;gebrauch defi&shy;niert.  
By dividing a sign act into interactional, expressive, and propositional angles, two important properties can be defined: Whereas ''truthfulness'' is associated with the interactional and expressive angles and assesses the relationship between the actual intention that the sender is pursuing with the sign act and the ostentatiously shown intention, ''truth'' is an evaluation of the propositional angle: the propositional angle of a sign act may or may not agree with the corresponding facts. Since truthfulness does not depend on the propositional angle, it is defined for all communicative interactions and, thus, also for the use of images.

Solange hingegen nicht klar ist, ob mit jeder Bild&shy;verwen&shy;dung auch ein Sach&shy;bezug voll&shy;zogen wird, bleibt die Rede von der Wahr&shy;heit eines Bildes besten&shy;falls meta&shy;phorisch. Nur für propo&shy;sitio&shy;nale Bild&shy;theorien kann der Wahrheits&shy;begriff unmit&shy;telbar ange&shy;wendet werden. Für rein prädi&shy;kative oder nomina&shy;torische Theorien des Sach&shy;bezugs bei Bildern führt die prinzi&shy;pielle Unvoll&shy;ständig&shy;keit von Prädi&shy;kation bzw. Nomi&shy;nation dazu, dass Bilder nicht unmit&shy;telbar wahr oder falsch sein können, sondern erst im Ver&shy;wendungs­­­&shy;zusam&shy;menhang um die fehlen&shy;den Kompo&shy;nenten zu einer Propo&shy;sition ergänzt werden müssen. In moda&shy;len Bild&shy;theorien liefert der Bildge&shy;brauch hin&shy;gegen gerade den [[Kontext]], auf den bezogen Propo&shy;siti&shy;onen wahr oder falsch sein können; auf Bilder selbst ist der Wahr&shy;heits&shy;begriff dann nicht anwend&shy;bar. Asemio&shy;tische Bild&shy;theorien müssen schließ&shy;lich einen vom zeichen&shy;theore&shy;tischen Wahr&shy;heits&shy;begriff gänz&shy;lich unab&shy;hängi&shy;gen Wahr&shy;heits&shy;begriff an&shy;bieten, sofern dieser Aspekt über&shy;haupt betrach&shy;tet wird.<ref>Auch das Schlag&shy;wort [[Authentizität|Au&shy;then&shy;ti&shy;zi&shy;tät]] ge&shy;hört in die&shy;sen Zu&shy;sam&shy;men&shy;hang.</ref>
On the other hand, as long as it is not clear whether every image act has a propositional angle at all, talk of the truth of an image remains metaphorical at best. The concept of truth can only be directly applied to propositional image theories. For purely predicative or nominatory theories of the factual reference in images, the fundamental incompleteness of predication or nomination means that images cannot be directly true or false, but only have to be supplemented with the missing components to form a proposition in the context of use. In modal image theories, on the other hand, the image use provides the [[Kontext|context]], to which related propositions can be true or false; the concept of truth is then not applicable to images themselves. Ultimately, asemiotic image theories must offer a concept of truth that is completely independent of the concept of truth in sign theory, insofar as this aspect is considered at all.<ref> The keyword [[Authentizität|authenticity]] also belongs in this context.</ref>

Sub-Item of: Sign theories: Overview

Original: Interaktions-, Selbst- und Sachbezug


Special partial actions in the use of signs

Since the use of a sign is a special form of communicative interaction, particularly relevant aspects (in the sense of necessary partial actions) can be derived. On the one hand, every communicative interaction must have aspects that belong to it as a type of interaction. Essentially, it is about the parts of the respective action schemata that all interactions share, such as the roles of ‘sender’ and ‘receiver’ and quite generally the direction of the sign from the sender to the receiver, as well as the type of interaction. This interactional angle of communicative interaction is expressed, in particular, in the fact that whoever uses a sign is always addressing someone to achieve something. The action components in which the interaction reference is conveyed are the illocutions.

On the other hand, a sign act necessarily has aspects of a communicative interaction, including self-presentation in particular. Anyone who uses a sign is not only addressing a recipient; in doing so, they must also relate in a special manner to themselves, to their body, and the situational embedding, in which the action of the sign takes place. The action components in which this expressive angle of the communicative interaction is conveyed determine, among other things, its modality.

The state of mind of the sender presented by the expressive angle can finally be differentiated with the use of signs to turn the sender towards an (also fictitious) fact or object: This fact, that object is then represented by the sign. The use of the sign can therefore refer to a specific fact to which the sender wishes to draw the recipient's attention. Propositions form the action components that convey the propositional angle of a sign action. [1][1]


Interactional, expressive, and propositional angles in the use of images

The problem of the possible interactional angles of image uses is dealt with in detail in image pragmatics (⊳ in particular Reference, Denotation, Exemplification). On a general level, this also concerns the question of whether it is possible to identify a fundamental illocutionary function of image use on which all other uses are based. What is the relationship between this and the assertion in particular (for instance ⊳ Kontext Building)?

As with all sign acts, the interactional angle can also be modified in the use of images by internalizing the respective interaction partners: The image user can take on both roles at the same time and present themselves with an image carrier as an image. In fact, the number of such monological uses far exceeds that of genuinely dialogical image communication (⊳ also Image reception as a communication process).

The expressive angle of an image use depends less on the distinction between producer and recipient, as one might initially assume than on the type of image:

  • In figurative imagery, the expressive angle can be paraphrased as: ‘presenting oneself to another (or oneself in the role of another) as actually seeing something which one knows is not actually present’. The ostensive sense of pointing (‘presenting oneself to another – or oneself in the role of another – as someone’) and the deictic sense of pointing (‘to lead someone – or oneself in the role of someone else – to perceive something’) are evidently intertwined in a very specific way (⊳ Interaction and Communication). This characterization of the expressive angle in the image use must apply equally to the image producer and the image recipient since dealing with an image carrier can only be an image act if it is connected with such a self-presentation of the agents.
  • For metaphorically depicting images (⊳ Structural Images): ‘presenting oneself to another (or oneself in the role of another) as someone who currently sees something that he knows is not visible in itself’ (⊳ also Semantics of Logical Images).[2]

With regard to the propositional angle of image uses, one must first ask: Do pictures have a propositional angle at all? If so, how do they accomplish it? Explanations on these predominantly image-semantic questions can be found in the articles on the keywords Proposition, Predication, and Nomination.


Truthfulness and truth

By dividing a sign act into interactional, expressive, and propositional angles, two important properties can be defined: Whereas truthfulness is associated with the interactional and expressive angles and assesses the relationship between the actual intention that the sender is pursuing with the sign act and the ostentatiously shown intention, truth is an evaluation of the propositional angle: the propositional angle of a sign act may or may not agree with the corresponding facts. Since truthfulness does not depend on the propositional angle, it is defined for all communicative interactions and, thus, also for the use of images.

On the other hand, as long as it is not clear whether every image act has a propositional angle at all, talk of the truth of an image remains metaphorical at best. The concept of truth can only be directly applied to propositional image theories. For purely predicative or nominatory theories of the factual reference in images, the fundamental incompleteness of predication or nomination means that images cannot be directly true or false, but only have to be supplemented with the missing components to form a proposition in the context of use. In modal image theories, on the other hand, the image use provides the context, to which related propositions can be true or false; the concept of truth is then not applicable to images themselves. Ultimately, asemiotic image theories must offer a concept of truth that is completely independent of the concept of truth in sign theory, insofar as this aspect is considered at all.[3]

Anmerkungen
  1. ↑ A highly simplified version of the three angles can be found in the so-called „Organon model“ (cf. [Bühler 1933a]Bühler, Karl (1933): Axiomatik der Sprachwissenschaften. Klostermann, Frankfurt/M.
    : p. 28f.). The interaction angle is reduced to the aspect of the appeal: what the sender wants to achieve with the recipient. The expressive angle passes into the aspect of expression: the way in which the sender presents themselves. Finally, the propositional angle appears in the form of the representation aspect: that to which the sign points (by means of the expressive angle). For the three aspects, which are also discussed in detail by George H. Mead, see [Ros 1984a]Ros, Arno (1984): Sach-, Selbst- und Fremdbezug in elementaren sprachlichen Handlungen. Zur Sprachtheorie G. H. Meads. In: Oehler, K. (Hg.), Zeichen und Realität. Stauffenburg, Tübingen.

  2. ↑ Here it is already indicated that the structural images can be understood as a more general class of images, which include the figurative images as a special case. For something that is not present obviously cannot be seen either, even if it is visually perceptible in itself. The general formulation for the expressive angle when using an image is therefore: ‘Presenting oneself to another (or oneself in the role of another) as someone who is currently seeing something that he knows is not visible – either in the current context or in general’.
    The images that do not fall into the two classes mentioned must be reflectively used images with a deficient representational function (⊳ also Semantics of non-representational images).
  3. ↑ The keyword authenticity also belongs in this context.
