“…An analysis of semiotic behavior we have made point out that some non-human animals can be seen as communicating using symbols as defined by Peirce's theory , Queiroz 2003. They mostly constitute simple cases of symbol usage without further symbol-related properties, such as recursion or compositionality.…”

The most unacceptable structural damage of porous asphalt top layers is the loss of stones leading to raveling. Therefore it is important to predict when the porous asphalt top layer will achieve a critical level of raveling so as to allocate funds for necessary maintenance. SHRP-NL database including eight provinces of the Netherlands was used as the data resource. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was employed to predict severity of raveling having input parameters related to historical raveling and climate, construction and traffic factors. An ANN is able to forecast raveling low with a high correlation factor (R 2 =0.986), raveling moderate with ( R 2 =0.926) and raveling high with (R 2 =0.976). Besides another ANN provided sensitivity analysis indicating the relative contribution of factors related to climate (58%), traffic factor (14%), thickness (6%), roughness (12%) and age (10%) for raveling low and high but for raveling moderate climate (46%), traffic factor (15%), thickness (15%), roughness (13%) and age (11%) are the results. Color Contours illustrated that heavy traffic, low thickness and high roughness cause raveling on old asphalt especially in cold rainy days. ANN proved to be a powerful technique to predict and analyze raveling opening great opportunities for development of ANN models for other detriments.

“…We have claimed elsewhere that the alarm-call system used by African vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops), a well-known case of vocal communication in non-human primates, logically satisfies the Peircean definition of symbol (Queiroz 2003(Queiroz , 2004Ribeiro et al 2007). These primates possess a sophisticated repertoire of vocal signs used for intra-specific alarm purposes regarding imminent predation on the group (Seyfarth et al 1980).…”

Firefly Femmes Fatales: A Case Study in the Semiotics of Deception

Mimicry and deception are two important issues in studies about animal communication. The reliability of animal signs and the problem of the benefits of deceiving in sign exchanges are interesting topics in the evolution of communication. In this paper, we intend to contribute to an understanding of deception by studying the case of aggressive signal mimicry in fireflies, investigated by James Lloyd. Firefly femmes fatales are specialized in mimicking the mating signals of other species of fireflies with the purpose of attracting responding males to become their prey. These aggressive mimics are a major factor in the survival and reproduction of both prey and predator. It is a case of deception through active falsification of information that leads to efficient predation by femmes fatales fireflies and triggered evolutionary processes in their preys' communicative behaviors. There are even nested coevolutionary interactions between these fireflies, leading to a remarkable system of deceptive and counterdeceptive signaling behaviors. We develop here a semiotic model of firefly deception and also consider ideas advanced by Lloyd about the evolution of communication, acknowledging that deception can be part of the explanation of why communication evolves towards increasing complexity. Increasingly complex sign exchanges between fireflies evolve in an extremely slow pace. Even if deceptive maneuvers are played out time and time again between particular firefly individuals, the evolution of the next level of complexity-and thus the next utterance in the dialogue between species-is likely to take an immense amount of generations.

“…As observed by Quine (1951), the pragmatic approach opens a new perspective towards these issues, presenting new elements to construct a less rigid conceptual schema and sustaining criteria no longer bound to a notion of correspondence that aspires to produce a "mirror" of reality. The traditional notion of meaning as something stable and fixed loses strength in the face of a dynamic conception that embraces the continuous cognitive processes for interpretation of meaning (QUEIROZ;MERRELL, 2006). Peircean philosophy proposes a radical transformation of the idea of meaning as being something like a list of properties, changing the perspective to an organic sense of semantics -layers of iconic descriptions of habits.…”

Aptidão semântica e a abordagem de C. S. Peirce aos termos de tipos naturais

Neste artigo defendo uma interpretação pluralista para a teoria do significado de Peirce quando aplicada a termos gerais que fazem referência a tipos naturais ou, como recentemente estabelecido no debate contemporâneo, termos de tipos naturais (TTNs). Conduzido por uma análise dos escritos de Peirce, podemos encontrar uma teoria confiável e promissora para esta ampla categoria de termos. Orientando-se por leitores privilegiados da filosofia de Peirce, duas posições principais são identificadas e comparadas por via do método pragmático. A partir das conclusões desta comparação, encontramos fortes razões para selecionar a posição pluralista moderada, enfatizando a teleologia dos agentes cognitivos em detrimento de causas finais. Esta leitura de Peirce não é apenas fortemente naturalizada, mas também se apresenta como uma abordagem instrumentalista à filosofia da linguagem. A leitura pretende lançar luz sobre algumas das principais reivindicações deste que é um autor estratégico, em especial, quando confrontado com a discussão contemporânea em torno dos TTNs. O tratamento de Peirce aos termos gerais é enriquecido por novas pesquisas empíricas em ciências cognitivas e biossemiótica. Todo o trabalho tem uma dívida especial com estudos recentes em computação cognitiva que introduziram o conceito de aptidão semântica para modelar um nível ótimo de abstração para produzir representações mais significativas em um determinado domínio ontológico, classificando objetos particulares de forma dinâmica e progressiva. Esta noção é introduzida para uma interpretação efetivamente evolucionária da teoria dos termos genéricos de Peirce e na exposição das vantagens desta estrutura conceitual.
