Sherlock Holmes and abductive reasoning : A semiotic look at scientific discourse
Abstract
This essay presents a semiotic look at scientific discourse . For its interpretation , an analysis was made of the discursive enunciation of Sherlock Holmes ' fictional series " The Sign of the Four ", in which the semiotic actor represents a private detective , who adopts the abductive method to clarify the different cases . The film director encourages the viewer to enter a possible world with elements of drama and suspense , in order to keep his attention throughout the film . The investigation finds its support in the works of the philosopher and logic Charles Sanders Peirce ( 1893-1914 ), most of whom used abductive reasoning as a method for the search for truth through wellexecuted conjectures . The results obtained show that the semiotic object used for its analysis , from the Peircean notion , is aimed at establishing a binding semiosis between detective cases and the diagnoses of a doctor , and that the Scottish writer Arthur Conan Doyle ( 1859-1930 ) left for posterity a hero prefigured in the fictitious characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr . John H . Watson .
Keywords : reasoning ; speech ; science fiction ; semiology .
