SINPEMFO code is the voice signal reporting format developed by ...
The triangle of reference (also known as the triangle of meaning[ 1] and the semiotic triangle) is a model of how linguistic symbols relate to the objects they represent. The triangle was published in The Meaning of Meaning (1923) by Charles Kay Ogden and I. A. Richards. [ 2] While often referred to as the "Ogden/Richards triangle", the idea ...
The International Code of Signals ( INTERCO) is an international system of signals and codes for use by vessels to communicate important messages regarding safety of navigation and related matters. Signals can be sent by flaghoist, signal lamp ("blinker"), flag semaphore, radiotelegraphy, and radiotelephony. The International Code is the most ...
