This presentation wants to show the distance between signs and reality. In relation to the arbitrariness of the linguistic sign (Saussure 1916), the utility of the description of the four types of signs constructed by Magariños de Morentin (1983) will be shown based on the same logic proposed by the Saussurean algorithm. Thus, the dual structure of the sign-language is restructured through the contrast of two very different aspects since the signifier belongs to the linguistic field and the signified to the extralinguistic world. This allows the semiotic differentiation of four valid signs for analytical purposes: Metalinguistic sign, Metasemiotic sign, Mediator sign and Ideological sign. This last one, the Ideological sign, allows us to demonstrate—among other things—the patriarchal violence exerted by non-inclusive languages such as Spanish and Italian, among others. On the other hand, the triadic sign proposed by Peirce constructs its own semiotic reality with another logical structure (CP 2.243). The recursiveness of the triadic sign, in turn, allows the analysis to be carried out not only to three aspects, but to nine, twenty-seven or eighty-one subsigns— constructing reality as an Immediate Object, however maintaining reality—and “the real” (Lacan 1972-73)—always in a relative hypothetical, circumstantial and relational state—as Dynamical Object (CP 8.343). The absence of an application by Peirce of his own semiotic proposal allowed me to develop the Semiotic Nonagon, as an operative model for qualitative analysis, which, in any case, does not resolve the irreality of signs nor the violence of a fact (CP 1.427).
