Semantic Perception and Semiotic Perception: Proposals for a Perceptual Model of the Sign Language

Abstract

This article intends to consider the theme perception as it was developed in the context of the morphosmantic conception of language activity, according to which language, before being conceived in its capacity to register a pre-linguistic perception or to witness the effects of Its grammatical regularities must be questioned as to how it itself has been perceived, both in the plane of the commonly accepted signifier and in the plane of meaning, which is to a lesser extent. This conception borrows its forms of problematization from the Gestalt perceptual models, based on the semantic perception hypothesis, for which the interpretation, understood as the attribution of meaning to a linguistic sequence, gains space when it is modeled as a perception activity. elaboration of fundamentals and semantic forms. This semantic perception hypothesis is based on a renewed interpretation of works in perception psychology and neuropsychology (RASTIER: 1991) and essentially consists in following, on the plane of meaning, the perceptual principles that we know that govern sensitive perception (cf for example). , assimilation dissimilation operations, the principle of good continuity, etc.).
