The Peircean interpretant relation, widely adopted in semiotics: an Expression isInterpretantFor another, e.g. fourLeggedFriendOfHumans isInterpretantFor dog. Synonymy, translation, associativity, and topical proximity are all sources for interpretants, e.g.: domestic dog isInterpretantFor dog (synonymy); cane isInterpretantFor dog (translation); bark isInterpretantFor dog (associativity); veterinary isInterpretantFor dog (topical proximity). Semantic mechanisms such as metonymy depend on the interpretant relation. The interpretant relation is here taken as very broad, also accepting Manifestation(s) as interpretants.
