 Apocalypse Explained (Whitehead)
This is evident from the signification of "the earth," as being the whole spiritual world, consequently all angels and spirits there.
This being the signification of "earth," "sea," and "tree," the three joined together in one idea signify all things in the spiritual world even to its ultimates in those who have any perception.
This is the signification of "the earth" in the general and nearest sense, because in the spiritual world, the same as on our globe, there are lands, mountains, hills, plains, valleys, and also seas (respecting which see above, n.

 The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum - Literature
In the sixth and the seventh centuries AD, Buddhist logicians Dignaga and Dharmakirti, proposed a theory of signification and creativity, called apoha, which dealt with the complexities of a linguistic and ontological universe in terms of dialectical and dichotomising relations between all related but distinct entities of human discourses.
IGNIFICATION in Language and Culture is an anthology of papers presented at the international symposium on Signification in Buddhist and French Traditions (with its impact on later developments in India and Europe) held at the Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla, in September 2001.
There is no immediate contact between the spirit and the world; signification and consequently, language is the interface.

 Book III of Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding
And then the question is barely about the signification of one or both these words; in that they not having both the same complex ideas to which they give these two names, one holds and the other denies, that these two names may be affirmed one of another.
This is sometimes the fault of the language itself, which has not in it a sound yet applied to such a signification; and sometimes the fault of the man, who has not yet learned the name for that idea he would show another.
The chief end of language in communication being to be understood, words serve not well for that end, neither in civil nor philosophical discourse, when any word does not excite in the hearer the same idea which it stands for in the mind of the speaker.

 Kristeva, Julia
First, she argues that the logic of signification is already present in the material body.
Revolution in Poetic Language and Powers of Horror are focused on material maternal rejection, which prefigures signification and sets up the logic of rejection.
Tales of Love and Black Sun are focused on primary narcissism, which prefigures all subsequent identity and sets up the logic of repetition.

 Augustine's view of Signification in On Christian Doctrine
In the proper sense (one level of signification), it points to the animal which is an ox.
For Origen, all of scripture was to be interpreted ``spiritually'', or using figuration and searching for the terminal level of signification.
Not only are cases of absurdity or impossibility in Scripture to be declared void of proper signification, but anything which does not deal with faith or morals are to be viewed likewise.

 Apocalypse Explained (Whitehead)
This is evident from the signification of "mother," as being the church, but here a religious persuasion which in the general sense is meant by "Babylon;" also from the signification of "whoredoms," as being adulterations of good and falsifications of truth (see n.
1045); also from the signification of the "earth," as being the church, here as to its holy things.

 Barthes-Myth
Bouvard and his friend Pecachet represent a certain kind of bourgeoisie (which is incidentally in conflict with other bourgeois strata): their discourse already constitutes a mythical type of speech; its language does have a meaning, but this meaning is the empty form of a conceptual signified, which here is a kind of technological unsatedness.
But what must be firmly established at the start is that myth is a system of communication, that it is a message.
First we must note that in myth, the first two terms are perfectly manifest (unlike what happens in other semiological systems): one of them is not 'hidden' behind the other, they are both given here (and not one here and the other there).

 The duty of A Pastor
I shall speak of those pastors mentioned here in the text; and I shall speak of them in general, as all teaching in the church,--which is the general signification of the word.
And all that I shall speak of them is, to remind myself, and my brethren, and you, of somewhat of the duty of such a pastor;--what is incumbent on him,--what is expected from him.
All the names of the officers of the church under the New Testament have a double significance,-a general and more large signification, and a special signification.

 [No title]
But the Mass, as instituted by Christ, is of its nature equivocal; but equivocation is twofold, according to affirmation and according to negation; according to affirmation when one thing signifies two or more potentially complementary truths, according to negation when they do not.
As instituted by Christ the Mass signifies both a Sacrifice and a Sacred Meal; and these two are complementary, since the Meal exists as a consequent of the Sacrifice; and not only as a consequent but as a proper and necessary means of participating in the fruit of the Sacrifice.
It is essential to any Sacrament that it be a sign; by Christ's institution it is essential to the Mass, according to which it is a rite, that it be a commemorative ritual of consecration.

These otherwise distinct points of view converge in their definition of the living or else the true sign as opposed to the dead, the empty or the false sign.
I hope to demonstrate that the incessant re-evaluation and the ultimate devaluation of representation in the critical discourse of architecture constitute so many attempts at coming to terms with the inevitability of representation, which is consistently deemed at odds with an ideal truth in/of signification.
Each position has enjoyed prominence for a time, only to be displaced by the other in time; with no apparent resolution afforded the repetition.

Therefore, since {207} whatever is said of a definition can be said of the thing defined, if the substantive designation or signification of a thing is the definition of supposition, it could be said that supposition is signification.
The following predication is true: the substantive signification of a thing is signification.
Medieval logicians took a word's natural property to be signifi­cation, which they understood as a word's presentation of a universal nature to the mind.

 The Necessary Signification
These four things must be expressed, and they are in fact expressed, in the sacramental wine-consecration forms of the various liturgies presently used in all those diverse Eastern rites of the Catholic Church, although the precise wordings in all these various forms are not all identically the same.
On the contrary, there are in fact four things that must be signifed, namely: (1) transubstantiation; (2) propitiation; (3) sacrifice; (4) the effect of the Sacrament (called its "Res Sacramenti"), which is the union of the Mystical Body of Christ.
In so doing, we passed over these words, "the mystery of faith." Having just expounded the foregoing important ideas concerning the differences that occur in the phraseologies of the divers rites of the Church, we are now ready to discuss those words, "mysterium fidei."

 The Historical Nature of Myth
The icon is a sign that resembles something; an index provides a direct causal relationship between the sign and its referent in the world; and a symbol is a sign that is understood only through a shared knowledge of cultural convention.
This theoretical relationship is central to overcoming the ambiguity of the sign and will be addressed later.

However, there is a limited set of them, as shown by Anselm's cataloging of the divine qualities in the Proslogion.

Like her macrocosmic counterpart, the Hindu woman had the power to bring her world to an end if she did not reiterate and reinforce the rituals that maintained the well being of her home and family—that is, her universe.

Lacan, Butler, and Baudrillard all do rather disparate things with the knowledge of language's arbitrary relation to the real world.
Greimas' goal is purely structuralist: he wishes to find the deep structures by which all signification orders the world of perception.
To put this another way, the connection between signification and the real world is completely arbitrary; however, signification is in itself not arbitrary since language tends to follow structural rules.

 Philip Tagg Review of 'Music and Cultural Theory' by John Shepherd and Peter Wicke (1998)
Summing up this review, I am regrettably unable, for the following reasons, to recommend the book to any substantial readership.
This prioritisation of 'primary signification' is at the centre of the book's intellectual strategy.
The authors' preoccupation with 'primary signification', in my mind a nebulous concept which became even more elusive by reading their book, may be justifiable, but answers to questions about musical meaning are far more likely to be found in integration than in antagonistic confrontation with other types of signification.

For the sake of concision, we will classify the former approach into a problematic of signs, and the latter into a problematic of texts.
If we look further into the distinction between meaning and signification, a sign, at least when in isolation, does not have meaning, and a text does not have signification.
The synthesis of which we have just offered the principle consists in determining inference and reference through difference, then to place these problems of signification under the authority of semantics, by assuming that the global (the text) plays a determining role over the local (signs).

It's the part about "we" being somehow distinct from the realm of signification, the way we are distinct from wildfires and other natural forces, as per your analogy:
Hard as people try to build dikes on the river of meaning, to shore up those barriers with all sorts of reinforcement, still significance pours over the retaining walls and floods our homes and fields.
Third, if we canand#8217;t control it, and if itand#8217;s going on all the time all around us anyway, the notion that there might be an implied ethic to signification, such that if we only truly understood signification we would understand the right way to understand, runs into fatal incoherency.

 Medieval Theories of Singular Terms
Concepts were said to signify naturally, and to have the same signification for all thinkers, or at least all thinkers with the same experience, but spoken terms, and the written terms which were subordinated to them, were thought to acquire their signification by some original act of imposition.
This question had to do in large part with the interpretation of ‘is’, but what concerns us here is the related issue of whether proper names lost their signification when their bearer died.
Everyone realized that different people could have the same name, but it is important to note that ‘Socrates’ said of two different people was a standard example of an equivocal term, a word with two unrelated significations (see §5).
