Here, it is more a question of an open-ended list than a veritable classification of
more specialized domains of the world of language lato sensu , i.e. the world of
systems of signs created by humans (and, in a more rudimentary manner, by other
living species) to express, communicate, share, transmit, conserve and - of course -
use values and knowledge about themselves, the world, and the Great Beyond.
The identification and elaboration of the taxonomic domains making up the term
[Taxon of the domain “Primary symbolic object”] were - once again - dictated by
the corpora of audiovisual texts we have worked with over recent years. However,
the modular nature of the meta-lexicon, based on the central notion of taxonomic
domain and its “basic” definition using “our” canonic triplet of conceptual terms,
will facilitate the task of transforming that list into a more elaborate form of
classification.
This transformation will, doubtless, have to take account of a more advanced
reflection on the organization of the different systems of signs available to an agent
to communicate about the facts around him.
Figure 13.13 shows the main taxonomic domains making up the world of
symbolic systems which presuppose language lato sensu . For the time being, we
distinguish three major taxonomic groups:
the first group of taxonomic domains, transversal in nature (i.e. certain
features of which are found, one way or another, in all the other taxonomic domains)
is made up of the three domains which are organized around the terms [Object
“Epistemic culture”], [Object “Axiological culture”] and [Object “Culture of
transcendence”];

- the second group includes the taxonomic domains which allow us to describe
subjects relating to the knowledge, visions, ideas, rules, norms, etc. which fashion
and/or respond to problems and interrogations stemming from the social world or
