/Subject (After giving a survey of the recent literature on the language of chemistry, attention is drawn to the semiotics of the chemical sign language. Against the background of Peirce's theory of signs, it is argued that structural formulas should be interpreted neither as symbols, nor as icons, let alone indices. Instead, the systemic character of structural formulas \(in the sense of Peirce's super-icons\) is pointed out enabling chemists to represent chemical changeabilities by static means. In conclusion the current misleading pictographic paradigm is shown to be at the expense of chemical information. )

After giving a survey of the recent literature on the language of chemistry, attention is drawn to the semiotics of the chemical sign language. Against the background of Peirce's theory of signs, it is argued that structural formulas should be interpreted neither as symbols, nor as icons, let alone indices. Instead, the systemic character of structural formulas (in the sense of Peirce's super-icons) is pointed out enabling chemists to represent chemical changeabilities by static means. In conclusion the current misleading pictographic paradigm is shown to be at the expense of chemical information.
