Towards a Model of Intersemiotic Translation

C. S. Peirce and Intersemiotic Translation

“…Our approach is based on the premise that IT is fundamentally an irreductible triadic relation (semiosis). Beyond that, as many authors have claimed (see Petrilli and Ponzio 2010;Gorlée 1994Gorlée , p. 10, 2005Plaza 1987), we assert that IT is predominantly a multilayered iconic relation (see Queiroz and Aguiar 2013;Aguiar and Queiroz 2009, 2011a. Here, we explore some consequences of those perspectives.…”

“…We have approached the same idea focusing the phenomenon of IT, especially from literature to dance (see Queiroz and Aguiar 2013;Aguiar andQueiroz 2011b, 2013).…”

“…It stands for its object through its form, structure, or material constitution (W 3: 62-65). But we have developed the idea of iconicity, central to Petrilli and Ponzio's thesis, and strongly associated by Haroldo de Campos to the concept of transcreation, in new directions (see Queiroz and Aguiar 2013;Queiroz 2010). When an "operational criterion" is adopted (Hookway 2000, p. 102;Stjernfelt 2011), the icon is defined as anything whose manipulation can reveal more information about your object, and algebra, syntax, graphs, and the formalization of all types should be recognized as icons.…”

Resemiotization of Illustrations in Children’s Picture Books Between English and Arabic

“…The inter semiotic translation is a semiotic and iconic-dependent process, illustrating the action of signs. Aguiar and Queiroz (2009) argue that the issue in intersemiotic translation is that it is hard to compare different semiotic resources, thus they propose to adopt a conceptual framework founded on Peirce's model of sign process resolve this methodological difficulty. Oittinen (2001) conducts a study dealing with the visual in of picture books being iconic texts, describing texts formed by images, effects and, words, meaning the verbal and visual semiotic systems.…”
