Understanding life: Trans-semiotic analogies

  • Andres Luure Department of Semiotics, University of Tartu, Tiigi 78, 50410 Tartu

Abstract

. This paper sketches a network of analogies reaching from linguosemiotics (including theory of reference in analytical philosophy of language) to biosemiotics. It results in the following proportion: attributive use of referring expressions : referential use of referring expressions : ‘generative’ use of referring expressions = signifying : referring : ‘poetic pointing’ = ‘functional’ semiosis : ‘adaptational’ semiosis : semiosis in the narrow sense.
