title: The ontology of signs as linguistic and non-linguistic entities: a cognitive perspective creator: Kravchenko, Prof. A.V. subject: Philosophy of Language subject: Pragmatics subject: Epistemology description: It is argued that the traditional philosophical/linguistic analysis of semiotic phe-nomena is based on the false epistemological assumption that linguistic and non-linguistic entities possess different ontologies. An attempt is made to show where linguistics as the study of signs went wrong, and an unorthodox account of the na-ture of semiosis is proposed in the framework of autopoiesis as a new epistemology of the living. publisher: John Benjamins contributor: Mendoza Ibanez, Dr. Francisco J.
