Semiotics. Study of signs and sign processes Semiosis is any activity, conduct, or process that involves signs.
Signs often are communicated by verbal language, but also by gestures, or by other forms of language, e.g. artistic ones (music, painting, sculpture, etc.). Contemporary semiotics is a branch of science that generally studies meaning-making (whether communicated or not) and various types of knowledge.[1] Unlike linguistics, semiotics also studies non-linguistic sign systems. Semiotics includes the study of indication, designation, likeness, analogy, allegory, metonymy, metaphor, symbolism, signification, and communication. Semiotics is frequently seen as having important anthropological and sociological dimensions. Fundamental semiotic theories take signs or sign systems as their object of study. History and terminology [edit] The importance of signs and signification has been recognized throughout much of the history of philosophy and psychology.
