Introduction

Semiotics is defined as the study of signs, their structure and the relationship between the signifier and the concept of meaning. The scope of semiotics, the same way that their relationship with other sciences and branches of knowledge, are extremely broad. Ferdinand de Saussure conceived it as "the science that studies the life of signs within social life." Currently, no consensus, no author attribution or take the initiative to translate it into a manual. It is proposed that semiotics is the continent of all studies from the analysis of signs, whether linguistic (semantic) or semiotic (human and nature). There are very few kinds of signs, such as sign language or clinical sign, which descriptions are available in the relevant article, or through the sign (disambiguation).

Discussion

Semiotics is a term often interchangeable with that of semiotics, the latter preferred by whites, the first by continental Europeans and Latin Americans. In fact, Charles Sanders Peirce was apparently first used the term semiotic, although it was another American - Charles William Morris - who made ??the first complete draft for semiotics.

Another point of view, that of Charles Sanders Peirce , the "semiotic" is one that should include other sciences dealing with the signs in certain fields of use or knowledge. This thinking is consistent with the fact that semiotics is presented as the basic science of the functioning of thought, trying to answer the question of how human beings know the world around you, how we interpret and how to build and creates and transmits knowledge . Thus, semiotics has come to be cast as the science of sciences rivalling the epistemology (Rogers, 2000).

In language the word is used more semantic , because the semantics is a science that studies the meanings of the signs but only in written communications (and human), semiotics ...
