The author does not aim at establishing one prescriptive approach. Quite the opposite, by leaving the question open, the author aspires to encourage further discussion about the criteria for scientificity, establishing the borders of scientific disciplines, and the productivity of the dialogic (or, rather, polylogic) scientific meta-discourse in science in general and in semiotics in particular.}, number={2/4}, journal={Sign Systems Studies}, author={Salupere, Silvi}, year={2011}, month={Dec.}, pages={271–289} }
