Biosemiotic interpretation

Biosemiotic interpretation is the study of how living organisms generate and understand signs and meanings in their environments. It explores the ways in which communication occurs not only between humans but also among animals and plants. This perspective emphasizes that life itself is a form of meaning-making, as organisms interpret signals—from chemical cues to behavioral signals—to navigate their world, interact with others, and survive. By understanding these connections, biosemiotics sheds light on the complex relationships between life forms and their ecosystems, revealing that meaning and communication are fundamental to the biological world.
