GROUP WORK: GRACE, CARLOS, MAX, IVAN via ZOOM
For our Semiotic Square, we chose to have “RUN” as our assertion and “SIT” as our negation. The reason behind is because running and sitting are contrary to one another. Running is a method of fast motion, whereas sitting is the opposite and a method of non-active stillness. “WALK” is our non-assertion because it compliments running as a method of slow motion, and still is a type of movement. In contrast to walking, we have “STAND” as our non-negation because it compliments sitting as a more active stillness, and is non-moving which contrasts with both walking and running. Running contradicts standing because running is in fast pace motion, versus standing is an active stillness. Sitting contradicts walking because sitting is a non-active stillness, and walking is a slow pace motion. Overall, these relations combined satisfy the semiotic square.
