Semiotics VS Semiology

C.S Peirce’s Semiotics And
Ferdinand De Saussure’s Semiology
  • The diagram shows two currents: one in Europe, the other in America.
  • Ferdinand de Saussure’s Semiology represents the European current.
  • C.S Peirce’s Semeiotics/Semiotics represents the American current.
  • The two semioticians above are the precursors of modern semiotics, qualified as scientific.
  • They inspired semioticians like Louis Hjelmslev, Charles Morris, Max Bense, Roman Jakobson, Roland Barthes, and Umberto Eco.
  • Signs are always at the heart of semiotics.
