Communicology is the science of human communication. One of the Human Science disciplines, it uses the logic based research methods of semiotics and phenomenology to explicate human consciousness and behavioral embodiment as discourse within global culture. Cognate subdiscipline applications include: (1) Art Communicology , (2) Clinical Communicology , (3) Media Communicology , and (4) Philosophy of Communicology. Communicology is the study of human discourse in all of its semiotic and phenomenological manifestations of embodied consciousness and practice in the world of other people and their environment. As a young discipline in Human Science research, Communicology is the critical study of discourse and practice, especially the expressive body as mediated by the perception of cultural signs and codes.

Semiotics for Beginners: Signs
We seem as a species to be driven by a desire to make meanings : above all, we are surely Homo significans - meaning-makers. Distinctively, we make meanings through our creation and interpretation of 'signs'. Indeed, according to Peirce, 'we think only in signs' (Peirce 1931-58, 2.302) . Signs take the form of words, images , sounds, odours, flavours, acts or objects, but such things have no intrinsic meaning and become signs only when we invest them with meaning.ARISBE: THE PEIRCE GATEWAY: Home Page of the International Peirce Telecommunity
Thought is what it is only by virtue of its addressing a future thought which is in its value as thought identical with it, though more developed. In this way, the existence of thought now depends on what is to be hereafter; so that it has only a potential existence, dependent on the future thought of the community. No present actual thought (which is [in itself] a mere feeling) has any meaning, any intellectual value; for this lies not in what is actually thought, but in what this thought may be connected with in representation by subsequent thoughts, so that the meaning of a thought is altogether something virtual. Accordingly, just as we say that a body is in motion, and not that motion is in a body, we ought to say that we are in thought, and not that thoughts are in us.

La sémiotique (du grec sêmeiôtikê , de sêmeion « signe ») est la théorie et l'étude des signes et du sens. Pour certaines théories, tout est signe : l'homme même et le monde qui l'englobe. En particulier, les signes peuvent être linguistiques, picturaux, architecturaux, vestimentaires, gestuels, olfactifs, musicaux, filmiques, etc. Pour plus de détails, consultez notre présentation générale de la sémiotique .
