The field of semiotics is a complex one, and it is generally understood to include the study of sign systems and evolution, texts, information, meaning, and related matters. This particular site, dedicated to the field of semiotics, was founded by Paul Bouissac, and it serves as a dynamic and interactive place where scholars and interested parties can peruse their online semiotics encyclopedia and other publications. Visitors will definitely want to click their way to the "Public Journal of Semiotics" and also look at their global information bulletin, titled "Semiotix". The site is rounded out by the Semiotic Review of Books and "The Pulse", which serves as a gateway to other semiotic-themed sites.
