Abstract

Semiotics is not a “scienceµ. It doesn’t stand among the other sciences at the same level. Semiotics is a theory with a “scientific vocationµ, which means that it doesn’t own a real object comparable with the objects of the other sciences, but it inhabits the field of signification, in which any object emerges and takes shape as such. Semiotics is the construction of a metalanguage in order to describe, with aµscientific vocationµ, the signification of any object. Thus, its dialogue with other sciences is subject to this condition.
