unlimited semiosis

is the signified in endlessly commutable-functioning as a signifier for a further signified. It mirror's the interpretant (peirce) connotation (barthes) free play (derrida) and the sliding signified (lacan).

Umberto Eco coined the term `unlimited semiosis' to refer to the way in which, for Peirce (via the `interpretant'), for Barthes (via connotation), for Derrida (via `free play') and for Lacan (via `the sliding signified'), the signified is endlessly commutable-functioning in its turn as a signifier for a further signified.
