interpretant
An
interpretant, in
semiotics, is the effect of a
sign on someone who reads or comprehends it. The concept of "interpretant" is part of
Charles Sanders Peirce's "triadic" theory of the sign. For Peirce, the interpretant is an element that allows taking a
representamen for the sign of an
object, and is also the "effect" of the process of
semeiosis or signification.
