On biosemiotics and its possible relevance to linguistics
pp. 13-28
Abstract
Biosemiotics is the study of meaning-making in biological systems. It argues that all organisms are biologically semiosic systems. This provides for linguistics a firm basis to ground the problem of the origin of meaning and to build upon the findings of this field.
