О логике умвельта животных: субъективное настоящее у животных, или зоосемиотика выбора и обучения

Abstracts

RU

Наша цель в этом исследовании – продемонстрировать взаимосвязь между классами знаков, механизмами обучения и типами умвельта. Это необходимо для описания и понимания животных способов смыслообразования в контексте различных форм семиозиса. Мы утверждаем, что семиозис имеет место только в настоящем, т. е. в субъективном мире. Дается описание о связи растительного, животного, социального и культурного умвельта с соответствующими классами знаков и механизмами обучения (импринтинг, обусловливание, имитация, условное обозначение). Мы также сформулируем два правила семиотического развития, характеризующие онтогенез умвельта.

Our aim in this study is to demonstrate a mutual relationship between the classes of signs, mechanisms of learning, and types of the umwelt. This is necessary in order to describe and understand the animal ways of meaning-making in the context of various forms of semiosis. We assume that semiosis only occurs in the present, in the subjective Now. An account of the linkage of vegetative, animal, social, and cultural umwelten with corresponding classes of signs and mechanisms of learning (imprinting, conditioning, imitating, conventioning) is provided. We also formulate two general rules of semiotic development that characterise the ontogeny of the umwelt.

Naszym celem w niniejszym badaniu jest wykazanie wzajemnych relacji między klasami znaków, mechanizmami uczenia się i rodzajami umweltów. Jest to konieczne, aby opisać i zrozumieć zwierzęce sposoby tworzenia znaczeń w kontekście różnych form semiozy. Twierdzimy, że semioza występuje tylko w teraźniejszości, w subiektywnym Teraz. Prezentujemy powiązanie umweltu wegetatywnego, zwierzęcego, społecznego i kulturowego z odpowiednimi klasami znaków i mechanizmów uczenia się (imprinting, warunkowanie, imitacja, konwencja). Sformułujemy także dwie ogólne reguły rozwoju semiotycznego, charakteryzujące ontogenezę umweltu.
