| description | The article aims to illustrate the inadequacy of viewing semiotics as a mere extension of linguistic methods applied to non-linguistic objects. It highlights the dual and recursive nature of semiotic terms. Semiotics' objects are not independent signs but rather the processes involved in establishing sign relations, specifically semiosis and semiopoiesis. Given the dynamic character of semiosis, signs should not be regarded as fixed objects from a predefined vocabulary; instead, they should be seen as ongoing processes. This underscores the significance of referencing texts and contexts within semiotics. This aspect is crucial as it is where semiotics can complement linguistics effectively. Social semiotics and poetic semantics, from different vantage points, demonstrate that the speaker's activity is not merely the reproduction of signs but the generation of them. Conversely, biosemiotics and molecular genetics offer insights into comprehending the internal laws of semiosis, affirming that sign generation is an inherent property of information systems and need not always involve a conscious subject. Simultaneously, linguistic descriptions can take various directions, focusing either on describing significative functions external to the system or on internal relationships within the system.
