American Society for Semiotics

The American Society for Semiotics is an organization dedicated to the study of semiotics, which is the theory of signs and symbols and their use in communication. It brings together scholars and practitioners from various fields, including linguistics, philosophy, and cultural studies, to explore how meaning is created and understood in different contexts. The society promotes research, hosts conferences, and publishes works that deepen our understanding of how signs—such as words, images, and gestures—convey information and shape our social interactions and cultural experiences.
