Interpretant

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.
