The term semantic enclave is defined by Wallis as ‘the part of a work of art which consists of signs of a different kind or from a different system than the sign of which the main body of that work of art consists.’ – 228

What constitute a sign is not given independently of the situation in which it occurs or of its material manifestation in that situation. – 238

the value of a sign is a function of the integrational proficiency which its identification and interpretation presuppose. – 238

Sign behavior as such cannot be treated simply as the exercise of individual choice from among a pre-determined inventory or system of signs. On the contrary, the status of being a sign is itself relative to a communication situation and determined by relevant features of that situation. Signs, in brief, are defined for an integrational semiology by communicational relevance in a situation and not by criteria for membership of some previously established typology. – 23
