Semiòtica Semiòtica i semiologia és l'estudi dels sistemes de signes, especialment en relació al llenguatge però amb conseqüències en altres àrees de les ciències socials on les qüestions d'interpretació són de gran importància.

Els principis fonamentals actuals de la semiòtica van ser escoltats pels alumnes de Saussure en un curs de lingüística impartit a la Universitat de Ginebra entre 1906 i 1911.

Personally, some kind of rock is preferred. According to the infographic, more people listen to rock music when they are upset. Letting people be themselves is one of the most important things you can do for them. Bio: My name is John-Patrick and I am a graduating senior at Texas State University.
