Biosemiotics (from the Greek ''bios'' meaning "life" and ''semeion'' meaning "sign") is a growing field of semiotics and biology that studies the production and interpretation of signs and codes〔Marcello Barbieri, 2008.(''Biosemiotics: a new understanding of life'' ), Naturwissenschaften, Vol.95, Iss.7, pp.577-599〕 in the biological realm. Biosemiotics attempts to integrate the findings of biology and semiotics and proposes a paradigmatic shift in the scientific view of life, demonstrating that semiosis (sign process, including meaning and interpretation) is one of its immanent and intrinsic features. The term "biosemiotic" was first used by Friedrich S. Rothschild in 1962, but Thomas Sebeok and Thure von Uexküll have implemented the term and field.〔Kull, Kalevi 1999. Biosemiotics in the twentieth century: A view from biology. ''Semiotica'' 127(1/4): 385–414.〕 The field, which challenges normative views of biology, is generally divided between theoretical and applied biosemiotics. ==Definition== Biosemiotics is ''biology interpreted as a sign systems study'', or, to elaborate, a study of * signification, communication and habit formation of living processes * semiosis (changing sign relations) in living nature * the biological basis of all signs and sign interpretation 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Biosemiotics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
