“…Similarly, Nöth (2016) argues that Peirce's evolutionary perspective on symbols and habits is incompatible with approaches characterized by codedness and arbitrariness, such as, for instance, Ernst Cassirer's Philosophy of Symbolic Forms. According to Nöth (2016, p. 35), Peirce's "law of habit" is an extension of the ordinary and scholarly concept of habit, from human to nonhuman and from animate to inanimate matter:…”

This study develops a biosemiotic framework for a descriptive phenomenology. We incorporate the set utterance-genre-lifeworld in biosemiotic theory by paralleling it with the Peircean-Uexküllean notions of sign, habit, and Umwelt (respectively). This framework for empirical semiotic studies aims to complement the concepts of affordance and scaffold, as applied in studies on learning.The paper also contributes to bridging Bakhtinian-Hallidayian-Habermasian views on utterance, genre, and lifeworld with biosemiotics. We exploit the possibility that biosemiotics offers to bring together hermeneutic and phenomenological analysis. We relate these views to integrated levels in a systemic framework for communication. Signs are seen as inter-dependent construction elements in utterances. Repeated use of utterances in shifting contexts generates shared recognizable kinds of communication, or genres. ‘Life-genre’ is used in a zoo-communication context, to avoid anthropocentrism. Life-genre serves animals’ life-functions. Genres make up a systemic network of communicational resources, along with the related concepts of event, affordance, and scaffold. Utterance, genre, and lifeworld have five aspects, constituting an integrative approach to communication: form, content, act, time, and space. Semiosis and positioning are processes that connect aspects and levels. Levels, aspects, and processes make up the framework as a system.While biosemiotics supports a phenomenological notion of life-genre, in turn, this notion also contributes to the development of the former, bridging a gap between organisms’ sign experience on a micro-level and organisms’ phenomenal lifeworld/Umwelt. Comparisons of lifeworld and Umwelt reveal that, although not identical, these are sufficiently similar to be perceived as an overall macro-level for signs and communication. Starting from a construal of utterance and genre as dynamic, dialogical, and reciprocal, genre is positioned as meso-level, mediating between signs in utterances and the lifeworld/Umwelt level. We propose genres, understood as semiotic scaffoldings built through affordances, as an analytical concept to capture meso-level phenomena. Scaffolding is determined by both ongoing events and (pre-)available genres. Events are manifestations of these scaffolding processes.Identifying animal and educational communication as two particularly relevant fields for future applications, we compare key socio-semiotic concepts to the notions of sign, habit, and Umwelt. The notions affordance and scaffolding are particularly important to think of learning as continuous with adaptation.An overall aim is to broaden as well as finetune semiotic phenomenology as a platform for empirical analyses of communication. We conclude by exemplifying and summarizing how the framework facilitates this.

“…It not only has the function of distinguishing semantic meaning but also can make the pronunciation slower and labor-saving, making the timbre softer and livelier. It will be hard for people to change their speaking and pronouncing habit, especially comfortable ones [5]. Furthermore, people in southern China could also be affected by rhotic accents nowadays, through social media, short videos and so on.…”

In recent years, the importance of learning English has risen to an incredible stage, especially in China. As educators always emphasize, speaking is much more important when it comes to all aspects of a language. So it is necessary to do research on the pronunciation of the second language (L2), or to be more specific, a foreign language. This paper will mainly discuss the influence of Chinese on the pronunciation of the consonant rin English, to correct and make people pay attention to their pronunciation, so as to avoid misunderstandings due to pronunciation. The author will invite students in university to complete a questionnaire relating to oral English and learning. The results show that the possible reasons for the wrong r consonant include dialect factors and educational factors.

“…Os hábitos exercem um papel importante na semiótica de Peirce, pois se constituem como diversas leis mentais mutáveis que regem processos de semiose e ensaios mentais, exercendo influências de mesma capacidade que semioses de signos materiais. No entanto, esses hábitos são organizados em uma certa hierarquia, na qual alguns são responsáveis por instâncias de mudanças de hábitos, capazes de formar ou abandonar hábitos com algum objetivo, propósito ou intenção em mente (Nöth, 2016). Os ensaios mentais, particularmente, desempenham um grande papel no processo de mudança de hábitos.…”

Resumo Este trabalho busca desenvolver uma aproximação entre o pensamento de Milton Erickson (1901-1980) e Charles Peirce (1839-1914), focalizando as noções de singularidade e falibilismo, com o objetivo de demonstrar as semelhanças existentes, o papel que desempenham em suas obras, como se relacionam e as implicações teóricas que geram para a hipnose. Descreve-se brevemente como o contexto histórico de cada um influenciou suas concepções iniciais. Em seguida, discute-se o modo como o falibilismo presente na concepção de semiose considera a singularidade dos fenômenos existentes e viabiliza o sinequismo, bem como os processos de evolução constante por meio de mudança de hábitos. Este estudo desenvolve a observação de Erickson sobre o sujeito enquanto signo representante de experiências de vida e relaciona as implicações teóricas do conceito de mente como semiose em torno do processo constitutivo de fenômenos acessíveis em experiência de transe.
