What is it about?

This article considers the way in which new semiotic objects are constituted on the basis of preexisting objects, linguistic or otherwise. Starting from the observation that Searle's constitutive rules and regulative rules only make it possible to refer to a constituted universe and to describe action as such, the author shows the need t two other modes which he models by way of 'teleological orientation rules' (ROT), already mentioned by Searle, and 'rules of projective appropriateness' (RAP). The function of these two types of rules is to account for the dynamics of the transformation of representation which lead to the constitution of new objects.
