Victoria Welby (1837-1912) dedicated her research to the
relationship between signs and values. She exchanged ideas with
important exponents of the language and sign sciences, such as
Charles S. Peirce and Charles S. Ogden. She examined themes she
believed crucially important both in the use of signs and in
reflection on signs. But Welby's research can also be understood in
ideal dialogue with authors she could never have met in real life,
such as Mikhail Bakhtin, Susanne Langer, and Genevieve Vaughan.
Welby contends that signifying cannot be constrained to any one
system, type of sign, language, field of discourse, or area of
experience. On the contrary, it is ever more developed, enhanced,
and rigorous, the more it develops across different fields,
disciplines, and areas of experience. For example, to understand
meaning, Welby evidences the advantage of translating it into
another word even from the same language or resorting to metaphor
to express what would otherwise be difficult to conceive.
Welby aims for full awareness of the expressive potential of
signifying resources. Her reflections make an important
contribution to problems connected with communication, expression,
interpretation, translation, and creativity.
