Semiotics

Here you will find extremely interesting links to Semiotics; Semiotics is a science about signs. Signs are, as far as I see it, the only way of communication coding for humans. I explain that now. Whatever piece of information which we want to pass over to other people we must code; we code it mostly in words, words are signs for something: the word “dog” is not a real dog, it is only a sign for a real dog, a kind of substitution; and it does not matter if it is written or spoken, both written and spoken words are signs. The history of semiotics is pretty long, more than a century; memetics, compared to semiotics, is a young science, only 3 decades. Many links here will give you a good chance to learn a lot about semiotics.
