A sign is something which depends on an object in a way that enables ( and, in a sense, determines ) an interpretation, an " interpretant ", to depend on the object " as the sign depends on the object ".

In any case, in that system, icon, index, and symbol were classed by category of how they stood for the dynamic object, while rheme, dicisign, and argument were classed by the category of how they stood to the final or normal interpretant.

The object determines the sign to determine another sign the interpretant to be related to the object " as the sign is related to the object ", hence the interpretant, fulfilling its function as sign of the object, determines a further interpretant sign.

In later years, Peirce attempted a finer level of analysis, defining sign classes in terms of relations not just to sign, object, and interpretant, but to sign, immediate object, dynamic object, immediate interpretant, dynamic interpretant, and final or normal interpretant.

Peirce's definition of a " sign " defines it in relation to its " object " and its " interpretant sign ", and thus it defines signhood in " relative terms ", by means of a predicate with three places.
