Abstract

Abstract: Biosemiotics is the synthesis of biology and semiotics, and its main purpose is to show that semiosis is a fundamental component of life, i. e., that signs and meaning exist in all living systems. Biosemiotics is experiencing a growing interest in semiotics, with important epistemological results. This paper makes a brief analysis of biosemiotics to highlight the novelty of this theory when interpreting the signs of human and non-human nature.
