Metasemantic-Metapragmatic Taxonomy of Multimodal Communicative Alignment
A dynamic metasemantic-metapragmatic taxonomy that grounds multimodal communicative alignment in Peirce's iconic, indexical, and rule-like capacities, introduces indexical contextualization and the principle of contextualization directionality as the metapragmatic mechanism for maintaining, navigating, or transitioning between semantic and pragmatic modes, and argues that metapragmatic indexicality (under-emphasized relative to the semantic domain) is pivotal for within-modal and cross-modal human-machine alignment.
