Without it being an implicit interprétant or interpreted. Referents are not external to the network of signs. A sign can refer to something considering it as existent, or considering it as non existent. In other words, the referent of a sign may or may not exist in the sense of "exist" referred to by the sign. Thus, for example, "There's a book on the table" has as referent something that does not exist if on the table there is no book. "Toyland" in the book Pinocchio has as referent something that really exists in the sense referred to by this expression in the story, even if such a country does not really exist in the same sense that this table and this book exist; on the other hand, "The Field of Miracles", in the same text Pinocchio, has as referent something that does not exist in the sense referred to by this expression in the story.

If we move along an interpretative route rendering explicit the interprétants of interprétants that cause us to consider something as a sign, we will discover how words as much as images and physical objects acting as nonverbal signs, contribute as signs to the interpretative process.
