The study of semiotics underwent a gradual but radical paradigm shiftduring the past century, from a glottocentric (language-centered) enterprise to onethat encompasses the whole terrestrial biosphere. In this collection of 17 essays, Thomas A. Sebeok, one of the seminal thinkers in the field, shows how thisprogression took place.
