Throughout literary history, “signification” has been employed as a multifaceted term that captures not only the literal meaning of a word or symbol but also its broader cultural, ethical, and philosophical connotations. Early authors and scholars, such as those discussing ancient emblems or scriptural symbols [1], [2], and [3], used the term to denote an original, sometimes sacred, meaning that was believed to underpin historical relics, religious texts, and social institutions. Later writers extended this usage to explore layers of interpretation in language and thought—for instance, Locke and Santayana considered the evolution of a term’s signification in both common parlance and technical contexts [4], [5]. In this way, “signification” became a key concept for investigating not only how words express ideas but also how those ideas transform and resonate across different fields—from philosophy and theology to literature and the sciences [6], [7].
