phenotype [Grk phainómenon ‘that which appears’]
Term which S.Šaumjan took from the study of inheritance and applied to semiotics.
The term ‘phenotype’ refers to any outward manifestation of natural language that can be measured by empirical observation. This concrete linear linking of linguistic expressions is governed by correspondence rules with the genotype, the ideal, universal linguistic level which underlies all phenotypes. (
also applicational-generative model)
