The Commens Dictionary

Quote from ‘On the Foundations of Mathematics’

Quote: 

The reference of a sign to its object is brought into special prominence in a kind of sign whose fitness to be a sign is due to its being in a real reactive relation, – generally, a physical and dynamical relation, – with the object. Such a sign I term an index.
