According to Reichenbach, "What makes them signs is the intermediary position they occupy between an object and a sign user, i.e., a person." For a sign to be a sign, or to function as such, it is necessary that the person take account of the object it designates. Thus, anything in nature may or may not be a sign, depending on a person's attitude toward it. A physical thing is a sign when it appears as a substitute for, or representation of, the object for which it stands with respect to the sign user. The three-place <strong>relation<em>' between sign, object, and sign user is called the ''sign '''relation''''' or '''''relation </strong> of denotation </em>. </li> <li>(<i>lb</i>) <em>Specifically </em>, a set of ordered pairs. </li> <li>: </li> <li>(<i>lb</i>) A set of ordered tuples retrievable by a relational database; a table. </li> <li>: </li> <li>(<i>lb</i>) A statement of equality of two products of generators, used in the presentation of a group. </li> <li> The act of intercourse. </li> </div><div class='fourth-Synonyms'><h4>Synonyms</h4> * (<i>way in which two things may be associated</i>) connection, link, relationship * (<i><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary<li>sense">sense</a></i>, <i><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary#member of one's family">member of one's family</a></i>) relative </li> * (<i>act of relating a story</i>) recounting, telling * correspondence * See also </div><div class='fourth-Hyponyms'><h4>Hyponyms</h4> * (<i>set theory</i>) function </div><div class='fourth-Derived terms'><h4>Derived terms</h4> * blood relation * close relation * direct relation * distant relation * equivalence relation * friends and relations * indirect relation * inverse relation * shirttail relation * relations * relationship </div><div class='fourth-Related terms'><h4>Related terms</h4> * relate * relative * relator </div><div class='third-Anagrams'><h3>Anagrams</h3> * * ---- </div></cite></div></div></div></div> </section>  </div>  <footer id="footer-block"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-block-23" class="block block-block"> <div class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons"></div> </div><div id="block-block-2" class="block block-block"><div align="center"> <p><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/"><img src="https://wikidiff.com/static/CC_88x31.webp" width="88px" height="31px" border="0" alt="Creative Commons by-sa 3.0"/></a> Text is available under the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License;</a> additional terms may apply.<br/> <br/> See <a href="https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use">Wiktionary Terms of Use</a> for details.</p> </div> </div><div id="block-block-20" class="block block-block"><div align="center"><a href="/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a> | <a href="/about-us">About Us</a> | <a href="/contact/contact_us">Contact Us</a></div></div></div> </footer></body> </html>
