Playing with Politeness in Economic Journals: The Strategy Used by Authors to Bring about Solidarity and Respect
Authors: Hamuddin Budianto , Dahler  , Wardi Jeni
Published: July 2018

Post print in ISOL 3, Universitas Andalas, Padang. 2017This study tries to analyse the dominance strategy of politeness used by authors in order to bring about solidarity and respect in selected economic journals. The corpus consists of 78.064 words from 12 different articles from one reputable Economic journal in the United States namely the Economic Growth Journal (EG). The data were taken from six years latest where this study conducted in 2012. The conceptual framework of the present study based on the politeness theory by Brown and Levinson (1978) alongside the application onto scientific writing by Myers (1989) and persuasive tactics proposed by Mulholland (1994). This study calculated in a total of 591 times the authors employ the tactics in order to maintain solidarity and respect in their articles. Positive politeness strategies seem to be the highest frequency (258 times) than the other 3 strategies. The data also reveals that EG authors have used 8 tactics in this strategy and it seems the 3 most used tactics was; by using in-group identity marker (62 times), using an in-group pronoun (59 times), and by informing readers about their research (40 times). This study clearly sees that the strategies and tactics employed by the authors in EG journal has a purposes to bring about solidarity and respect used by EG authors in their articles somehow used to reach the demands of the academic discourse community that expects scientific language to be objective and formal however not losing its intimacy with the economic community members and this is seems in line with the nature of positive politeness strategies.
Passion as the Province of Interpersonal Processes: Admiring and Investing in Passionate Individuals
Authors: Jachimowicz Jon , To Christopher , Galinsky Adam
Published: July 2018

Prior research finds positive relationships between passion and indicators of success: passionate individuals have less stress, higher satisfaction and better performance at work. These findings have attributed the success of passionate individuals to their inherent characteristics. We propose an interpersonal perspective, where the perception of passion stirs emotions in others that motivate them to contribute to the success of passionate individuals. Six studies compare reactions to passionate individuals to those with less passion, baseline conditions, and related constructs to establish three key findings. First, passion sparks admiration in others, which leads perceivers to socially invest in passionate individuals. Second, these effects are weaker when observers lack passion themselves. Third, although passion produces strong reactions in others, it can be threatening in competitive contexts. These findings suggest that the success of passionate individuals is driven not only by their individual characteristics, but also by the interpersonal reactions they spark in others.

Over-representation of extreme events in decision-making reflects rational use of cognitive resources
Authors: Lieder Falk , Griffiths Tom , Hsu Ming
Published: July 2018

People’s decisions and judgments are disproportionately swayed by improbable but extreme eventualities, such as terrorism, that come to mind easily. This article explores whether such availability biases can be reconciled with rational information processing by taking into account the fact that decision-makers value their time and have limited cognitive resources. Our analysis suggests that to make optimal use of their finite time decision-makers should over-represent the most important potential consequences relative to less important, put potentially more probable, outcomes. To evaluate this account we derive and test a model we call utility-weighted sampling. Utility-weighted sampling estimates the expected utility of potential actions by simulating their outcomes. Critically, outcomes with more extreme utilities have a higher probability of being simulated. We demonstrate that this model can explain not only people’s availability bias in judging the frequency of extreme events but also a wide range of cognitive biases in decisions from experience, decisions from description, and memory recall.
The list strength effect in source memory: Data and a global matching model
Authors: Osth Adam F , Fox Julian , McKague Meredith , Heathcote Andrew , Dennis Simon
Published: July 2018

A critical constraint on models of item recognition comes from the list strength paradigm, in which a proportion of items are strengthened to observe the effect on the non-strengthened items. In item recognition, it has been widely established that increasing list strength does not impair performance, in that performance of a set of items is unaffected by the strength of the other items on the list. However, to date the effects of list strength manipulations have not been measured in the source memory task. We conducted three source memory experiments where items studied in two sources were presented in a pure weak list, where all items were presented once, and a mixed list, where half of the items in both sources were presented four times. Each experiment varied the nature of the testing format. In Experiment 1, in which each study list was only tested on one task (item recognition or source memory), a list strength effect was found in source memory while anull effect was found for item recognition. Experiments 2 and 3 showed robust null list strength effects when either the test phase (Experiment 2) or the analysis (Experiment 3) was restricted to recognized items. An extension of the Osth and Dennis (2015) model was able to account for the results in both tasks in all experiments by assuming that unrecognized items elicit guess responses in the source memory task and that there was low interference among the studied items. The results were also found to be consistent with a variant of the retrieving effectively from memory model (REM; Shiffrin & Steyvers, 1997) that uses ensemble representations.

Published: July 2018

The aim of this paper is to investigate some semantic interlingual errors in the writing performance of Libyan English as Foreign Language Learners (LEFLLS). The study seeks to analyze these errorsthat appear in the learners’ written production. The data was gathered from 25 essays written by 25 Libyan postgraduates majoring in different fields. It was collected and organized according to the errors committed. Errors taxonomy adapted from James’ (1998) and Al-Shormani and Al-Sohbani’s (2012) was used in identifying and analyzing these errors. Semantic errors were classified into five categories namely formal mis-selection, formal mis-formation, lexical choice, collocation and lexico-grammatical choice. The semantic errors identified were 346. These errors were classified into four categories namely, formal misformation (46.7%), distortion due to spelling (32.4%), lexical choice (40.6%) and lexicogrammatical choice (2.4%). The results show that direct translation from the first language (L1), assumed synonym and misselection of letters sub-categories score the highest number of the errors, i.e.14.2%, 13.08% and 12.08% respectively. While the sub-category, both collocations incorrect error was the lowest (0.52%). The other errors take the form of paraphrase (11.5%) and Idiomacity (8.5%). Two main sources have been found to be the cause behind these errors namely, L1 influence and insufficient knowledge about the second language (L2). Moreover, cultural differences between L1 and L2 had its impact in the written products of Libyan students.

A fundamental asymmetry in judgments of soldiers at war
Authors: Watkins Hanne M , Goodwin Geoffrey
Published: July 2018

How should we judge a soldier who is fighting for an unjust cause? Is such a soldier the moral equal of a soldier fighting for an opposing, just cause? According to traditional just war theory (Walzer, 2006), soldiers on either side of a war are moral equals, regardless of the justness of the cause for which they fight (the “principle of combatant equality”). According to revisionist just war theory, however, the justness of the soldiers’ cause should inform moral judgments of their actions; on this view, our judgments of soldiers on either side of a war should therefore be asymmetric (McMahan, 2009). Despite intense philosophical debate between these two theories, little work has examined how they align with lay views. Assessing this correspondence is important because people’s attitude towards soldiers may have a variety of consequences, ranging from their support for war, to their acceptance, rejection, or valorization of individual combatants. Across eight studies, we find consistent evidence that ordinary individuals’ judgments of soldiers’ actions are influenced by the justness of the soldiers’ causes, contrary to the principle of combatant equality. Two factors (partially) explain this effect: first, people implicitly presume that soldiers identify with the cause for which they fight, which influences moral judgments of their actions; second, people implicitly align themselves with the just side of a war, treating combatants on the just side as part of their ingroup, thus rendering more favorable moral judgments of them. Several other possible explanations were not supported.

Incorporating Intercultural Communicative Competence in EFL Classes
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Chaouche Mahdjouba
Published: July 2018

In a rapidly globalized world, EFL teachers are increasingly urged to incorporate intercultural competence in language classes. This paper is concerned with the incorporation of the teaching of culture into the foreign Language classroom. The main premise of the present paper is that effective communication is not limited to linguistic competence and language proficiency and that apart from enhancing communicative competence, cultural competence can also lead to empathy and respect toward different cultures as well as promote objectivity and cultural perspicacity. In fact, teaching a foreign language carries a novel culture which includes one’s religion, gender and a set of beliefs. Yet; though language and culture are so closely interwoven into each other that one cannot be conceived without the other, language is still taught as a separate phenomenon from culture and classroom activities are bereft of any instruction of foreign cultures. It is to be noted that much research into the incorporation of culture in language learning remains to be done so that the pedagogical principles of culture teaching may be articulated and applied effectively to the development of materials, and curricula. Thus, the purpose of this paper is first, to explain the ideas and theory which define what is involved in the intercultural communicative competence, and second, to demonstrate what intercultural competence would mean in practice for teachers and learners in language classrooms in an Algerian context and how to make it easily accessible in practical ways.

Franken Medicine: The Horrors of For-Profit Medicine
Authors: McGettigan Timothy
Published: July 2018

While conducting field research on poverty in Winston-Salem, North Carolina the author acquired alarming insights about the horrors of profit-motivated healthcare. The author witnessed a homeless man dislocate his knee while playing softball. Rather than receiving humane medical attention the homeless man was subjected to hospital treatment that would be better described as medieval torture. The more money that the USA spends on healthcare the more inhumane US healthcare becomes. Although many people believe that money is the key to happiness, in this paper I will argue that the USA’s “profits over people” medical philosophy tends to inspire dreadful forms of inhumanity in the delivery of healthcare.
Intensional data on the web

Published: July 2018

We call data intensional when it is not directly available, but must be accessed through a costlyinterface. Intensional data naturally arises in a number of Web data management scenarios, suchas Web crawling or ontology-based data access. Such scenarios require us to model an uncertainview of the world, for which, given a query, we must answer the question “What is the best thingto do next?” Once data has been retrieved, the knowledge of the world is revised, and the wholeprocess is repeated, until enough knowledge about the world has been obtained for the particularapplication considered. In this article, we give an overview of the steps underlying all intensionaldata management scenarios, and illustrate them on three concrete applications: focused crawling,online influence maximization in social networks, and mining crowdsourced data.

Ubermensch: Konsep Manusia Super Menurut Nietzsche
Authors: Nanuru Ricardo Freedom
Published: July 2018

This research was motivated by anxiety of the author about the rapid changes, includingchanges in the self and mind of human. Therefore, new ideas that fit with the era of human nature was needed. Within that framework, author chose Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche thought about human as a topic of the Philosophy of Human study.This is a library research that uses Philosophy of Human as a formal object, while thematerial object is Nietzsche's thought of superhuman. The Elements to dissect this research methodically is hermeneutics and heuristics. The results that obtained from the research are: (1) Nietzsche was powerfully explores discourses about the matter of existentialism (freedom, death, fear, worry, suffering, human dreams, mundane conditions (spacing and timing/historical). The doctrine of Nietzsche stems from a concrete understanding of man and his life. Main teaching Nietzsche is willto power that can be achieve in the idea of an ideal superior human or Ubermensch. It isasserted that the existence of human is his/her will (human will desire) that beyond theratio. Nietzsche was a spirit that transcends his time (modern rationality). (2) The ways toachieve superior human is with the three basic components, i.e. courage, intelligence and pride. Human must have the courage to face life, both happiness nor suffering. Nietzsche asserts that with suffering, humans will reach his/her fullest potential, because when confronted with conflict, human can release all the potential and ability that will help him/her to become Ubermensch.
Reduced heart rate variability in a treatment-seeking early psychosis sample
Authors: Cacciotti-Saija Cristina , Quintana Daniel S , Alvares Gail A , Hickie Ian , Guastella Adam
Published: July 2018

Reduced cardiac autonomic function is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), with heart rate variability (HRV) providing an accessible index of cardiac autonomic function. HRV may provide a candidate physiological mechanism linking reduced cardiac autonomic function to increased risk for CVD in schizophrenia illness. This study examines whether HRV is also reduced in a community sample of treatment-seeking participants experiencing early psychosis (n = 48) compared to healthy volunteers (n = 48) and social anxiety control groups (n= 48) matched by gender and age. HRV was assessed during a five-minute interbeat interval recording at rest. Participants also completed self-report psychiatric symptom measures. Early psychosis participants demonstrated significant reductions in HRV compared to control groups but not compared to medication free healthy controls. Reductions in HRV were also observed in early psychosis participants taking anticholinergic medications compared to both control groups taking cardio-benign medications or who were non-medicated. Lastly, whether or not early psychosis participants were taking anticholinergic medications did not significantly impact reductions in HRV. Findings provide preliminary evidence that early psychosis is associated with reduced HRV. Treatment implications include the importance of early screening and targeting modifiable risk factors associated with CVD to attenuate risk.

Some suggestions on dealing with measurement error in linkage analyses
Authors: Bachl Marko , Scharkow Michael
Published: July 2018

Linkage analysis is a sophisticated media effect research design that reconstructs the likely exposure to relevant media messages of individual survey respondents by complementing the survey data with a content analysis. It is an important improvement over survey-only designs: Instead of predicting some outcome of interest by media use and implicitly assuming what kind of media messages the respondents were exposed to, linkage analysis explicitly takes the media messages into account (de Vreese & Neijens, 2016; Scharkow & Bachl, 2017; Schuck, Vliegenthart, & de Vreese, 2016; Shoemaker & Reese, 1990; Slater, 2016; Valkenburg & Peter, 2013). The design in its modern form has been pioneered by Miller, Goldenberg, and Erbring (1979) and is today considered a “state-of-the art analysis of the impact of specific news consumption” (Fazekas & Larsen, 2015, p. 196). Its widespread use, especially in the field of political communication, and its still increasing popularity demonstrate the relevance of the design. The main advantage of a linkage analysis is the use of one or more message exposure variables which combine information about media use and media content. However, both constitutive sources are often measured with error: Survey respondents are not very good at reporting their media use reliably, and coders will often make some errors when classifying the relevant messages.In this article, we will first give a short overview on the prevalence and consequences of measurement error in both data sources. The arguments are based on a literature review and a simulation study which are published elsewhere in full detail (Scharkow & Bachl, 2017). We continue with a discussion of possible remedies in measurement and data analysis. Beyond the obvious need to improve the measures themselves, we highlight the importance of serious diagnostics of measurement quality. Such information can then be incorporated in the data analysis using estimation or imputation approaches, which are introduced in the main section of this chapter. We conclude by noting that 1) the improvement of measurements and the diagnosis of measurement error in both parts of a linkage analysis must be taken seriously; 2) many tools for correcting measurement error in single parts of a linkage analysis already exist and should be used; 3) methodological research is needed for the development of an integrated analysis workflow which accounts for measurement error and uncertainty in both data sources.
Higher levels of motor competence are associated with reduced interference in action perception across the lifespan
Authors: Wermelinger Stephanie , Gampe Anja , Daum Moritz M.
Published: July 2018

Action perception and action production are tightly linked and elicit bi-directional influences on each other when performed simultaneously. In this study, we investigated whether age-related differences in manual fine-motor competence and/or age affect the (interfering) influence of action production on simultaneous action perception. In a cross-sectional eye-tracking study, participants of a broad age range (N = 181, 20-80 years) observed a manual grasp-and-transport action while performing an additional motor or cognitive distractor task. Action perception was measured via participants’ frequency of anticipatory gaze shifts towards the action goal. Manual fine-motor competence was assessed with the Motor Performance Series. The interference effect in action perception was greater in the motor than the cognitive distractor task. Furthermore, manual fine-motor competence and age in years were both associated with this interference. The better the participants’ manual fine-motor competence and the younger they were, the smaller the interference effect. However, when both influencing factors (age and fine-motor competence) were taken into account, a model including only age-related differences in manual fine-motor competence best fit with our data. These results add to the existing literature that motor competence and its age-related differences influence the interference effects between action perception and production.

Hackathons, entrepreneurship and the passionate making of smart cities
Authors: Perng Sung-Yueh , Kitchin Rob , Donncha Darach Mac
Published: July 2018

Hackathons – quick prototyping events for commercial purposes – have become an important means to foster innovation, entrepreneurship and the start-up economy in smart cities. Smart and entrepreneurial cities have been critiqued with respect to the neoliberalization of governance and statecraft. We consider the passions, inventions and imitations in the assemblage of practices – alongside neoliberalizing and capitalist operations – that shape the economy and governance of smart cities. The paper examines hackathons as tech events that extend the passions for digital innovation and entrepreneurship and act as sites of social learning for the development of smart urbanism. We argue that passionate and imitative practices energize the desire and belief in entrepreneurial life and technocratic governance, and also engender precarious, ambiguous and uncertain future for participants and prototypes.

Last update on October 14, 2017We have developed and tested a new experiment script that bypasses the need for special equipment (CRT monitor). The new script has been successfully tested on a MacBook Pro computer (see https://osf.io/3xsg9/). An English version of the new script is available here: https://osf.io/spzvd/. We recommend using this script if you do not have access to an 85hz CRT monitor, as it should work better on most modern computers with LCD monitor. Please note that it is important to plug in the battery and to turn off the Internet connection, Bluetooth, and other applications working in parallel (e.g., Kaspersky Security) for optimal performance.
Vegetarians’ and Omnivores’ Affective and Physiological Responses to Food
Authors: Anderson Eric C , Wormwood Jolie B. , Barrett Lisa Feldman , Quigley Karen
Published: July 2018

Many vegetarians report that meat is unpleasant, but little else is known about their affective responses to meat and non-meat foods. Here we explored affective responses to food in vegetarians and omnivores and tested the hypothesis that vegetarians have global differences in affective processing (e.g., increased disgust sensitivity). We presented pictures of different food items and recorded participants’ affective experience while we recorded peripheral physiology. We found that vegetarians' self-reported experience of meat was less pleasant than omnivores’, but that other food items were equally pleasant across the two groups. Moreover, vegetarians and omnivores had strikingly similar physiological responses to all food stimuli--including meat. We interpret these results from a psychological constructionist perspective, which posits that individuals conceptualize changes in their bodily states in ways that match their beliefs, such that increased sympathetic nervous system activity may be conceptualized as an experience of excitement about a delicious meat meal for omnivores but as an experience of displeasure for a vegetarian who believes meat is cruel, wasteful, impure, or unhealthy. This interpretation is consistent with emerging neuroscience evidence that the brain constructs experience by predicting and making meaning of internal sensations based on past experience and knowledge.
CONTENIDO DE METALES PESADOS EN ORGANISMOS ACUÍCOLAS EXPENDIDOS EN LOS MERCADOS DE LA CIUDAD DE MACHALA, PROVINCIA DE EL ORO

No cabe duda que en los últimos años, el medio ambientemarino se ha ido contaminando visiblemente, como resultadode las actividades del hombre. Grandes cantidades desustancias, algunas nocivas, llegan al ecosistema acuático yparte de ellas proceden de residuos industriales, agrícolas odomésticos. Dentro de la variable lista de contaminantes, losmetales pesados en cantidades de trazas, ocupan una posiciónúnica, ya que ellos no pueden ser descompuestosposteriormente y, una vez depositados, permanecerán en elmedio acuático, prácticamente sin ningún cambio cualitativo.Históricamente, los niveles de metales pesados existentes enalimentos resultan conocidos y con pocas excepciones,aceptados como constituyentes naturales de los mismos; peroen los últimos 60 años se llegó a la conclusión de que losmetales pesados presentes en ciertos alimentos, especialmenteen pescados, mariscos y sus derivados, están directamenterelacionados con la contaminación de ríos, lagos y océanos,constituyendo un interesante campo de investigación en labiología del medio ambiente marino. Una de las principalescaracterísticas de este medio ambiente la constituyen suscondiciones físico-químicas relativamente constantes; sinembargo, ciertos organismos marinos adaptados a estascondiciones, podrían aceptar ligeros cambios en su medio,causados por los contaminantes. Por eso la presencia en nivelesaltos de sustancias o compuestos extraños y metales pesadoscomo contaminantes en el agua de mar, puede ocasionar unproblema para el desarrollo y supervivencia de los organismosmarinos que adquieren acusada importancia cuando sedestinan a la alimentación humana.
Anti-Immigrant Parties and Western European Society: Analyzing the Role of Immigration and Forecasting Voting
Authors: Breznau Nate
Published: July 2018

This project analyzes and predicts the trajectory of immigration and anti-immigration parties in Western Europe from 1962 to 2035. Immigration increased steadily until the 2000s when it reached unprecedented levels. By 2017, countries in Western Europe average 11% of votes cast for anti-immigrant parties. The percentage of the population that are first generation immigrants predicts between 50 and 94% of the variance in these votes across countries in Western Europe. A blog post and a working paper discuss the findings of this research and implications for the future of Europe drawing on theories of group dynamics and empirical research on politics and societies.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether certain textisms (texting cues) were perceived as more comfortable than others, both in the context of conversation as well as with regards to the general perception of the textism. Participants were assigned to one of two conversations and were asked to rate how comfortable they would feel after each statement in a conversation. Next, they were all asked to rank the general comfort ratings of each textism. We predicted that participants would feel more comfortable with the usage of emoticons (a smiley face) and initialisms (JK), whereas they would feel less comfortable with typographical symbols (…) and capital letters (WHAT) in general, as well as in the context of a conversation. Results indicated that, globally and in the context of a conversation, participants perceive initialisms and emoticons as more comfortable and typographical symbols and capital letters as less comfortable.

Implicit theories of intelligence have been proposed to predict a large number of different outcomes in education. The belief that intelligence is malleable (growth mindset) is supposed to lead to better academic achievement and students’ mindset is therefore a potential target for interventions. The present study used a large sample of university applicants (N = 5,653) taking a scholastic aptitude test to further examine the relationship between mindset and academic achievement. We found that results in the test were slightly negatively associated with growth mindset (r = -.03). Mindset showed no relationship with the number of test administrations participants signed up for and it did not predict results in a later administration of the scholastic aptitude test. The results show that the strength of the association between academic achievement and mindset might be weaker than previously thought.

The research has been done about isolation and identification on degradator bacterium of petroleum waste which symbions with sponge from Melawai Beach, Balikpapan. The research objectives; knowing sponge species, symbioning bacterium isolate and its ability of petroleum waste degradation. The research method were analysis of sponge Morphology analysis, isolation of symbions bacterium, identification, and activity testing at petroleum waste media which is coming from wells result of processing of PT. Chevron. The research result obtained the morphology analysis concluded that the sponges is Callyspongia sp. Bacterium symbion isolation obtained that two isolates which were given each symbols isolate A with the rounded shape and crem color whereas isolate B with yellow color and jagged shape. Coloring analysis of isolate obtained that isolate A is negative gram bacterium type and isolate B is positive gram bacterium type. Activity isolate testing at petroleum waste media, isolate A did not grow significantly at the media which marked with the existence of layer transparent on the media, isolate B growth significantly which marked with existence of solidity on the media, and the combination of isolate A+B also showed growth which marked with the existence of layer transparent and solidity on media. The conclusions research, sponge species is Callyspongia sp which contained two isolates bacterium namely negative gram bacterium and positive gram bacterium and both of the isolates can grow at media of petroleum waste.
Why using age as a proxy for testosterone is a bad deal
Authors: Schönbrodt Felix D.
Published: July 2018

In their article "Deal or No Deal: Hormones and the Mergers and Acquisitions Game," Levi, Li, and Zhang (2010) claimed that they investigated the effect of testosterone on CEOs’ decisions in mergers and acquisitions. However, they did not measure testosterone levels directly. Rather, they tried to use CEO age as a proxy, based on a previously documented negative correlation between age and testosterone level. In this comment, I argue that it is not reasonable to use age as a proxy for testosterone, and that Levi et al.’s study does not tell us anything about testosterone. General remarks on using proxy variables are given.
The Electrostrong Relation
Authors: Perkovic Nikola
Published: July 2018

In an attempt to eliminate the Landau Pole from QED by borrowing asymptotic freedom fromQCD, I was successful in uniting the coupling constants of the two, respectively, in the Electrostrong relation. The Strong CP problem is also solved proving that there is no need for fine tuning in QCD. The first step however, was improving the measurement for the running of the strongcoupling constant that can be tested experimentally for the energy scale of the QCD integration parameter Λ, offering such a prediction for the first time.

Title: Architectural Design Symbolism Catholic Church of Saint Peter and The Virgin Mary Catholic Church Santa Grief Seven in BandungAs a place of holy worship, a Catholic Church should posses a sacred interior and exterior expression. Modernization has caused a good deal of this sacred expression of the Catholic Church to fade. As Catholic Church is a place of worship that supports all liturgical activities, semiotic theory are used to analyze and decipher its architecture to preserve sacredness.The research methodology that was employed was qualitative methods using Peirce’s semiotic principles and their implementation in Church architecture. The principle was then used to analyze two case studies in every detail of their draw up. The area of planning encompassed: (1) Scope of the surrounding environment; (2) Scope of the site; (3) Scope of the form. This analysis employed semiotic principles that were elaborated with Catholic Church principles to create a guideline in the architectural planning of a Catholic Church.The purpose of this research is to find the most dominant sacral expression between Santo Petrus Church and the Santa Perawan Maria Tujuh Kedukaan Church by means of the symbols attached to the architectural elements between these two Catholic Churches.The results of this study were that sacral expression in terms of (1) Scope of the surrounding environment; (2) Scope of the site; (3) Scope of the form are more dominant in the Santo Petrus Church compared to the Santa Perawan Maria Tujuh Kedukaan Church.Keywords: Peirce’s semiotics, sacral expression, catholic church
