Journal Title：Biosemiotics

Biosemiotics is dedicated to building a bridge between biology, philosophy, linguistics, and the communication sciences. Biosemiotic research is concerned with the study of signs and meaning in living organisms and systems. Its main challenge is to naturalize biological meaning and information by building on the belief that signs are fundamental, constitutive components of the living world.

Biosemiotics has triggered rethinking of fundamental assumptions in both biology and semiotics. In this view, biology should recognize the semiotic nature of life and reshape its theories and methodology accordingly while semiotics and the humanities should acknowledge the existence of signs beyond the human realm. Biosemiotics is at the cutting edge of research on the fundamentals of life. By challenging traditional assumptions on the nature of life and suggesting alternative perspectives, it opens up exciting new research paths.

生物符號學致力于在生物學、哲學、語言學和傳播科學之間架起一座橋梁。生物符號學研究涉及對生物體和系統中的符號和意義的研究。它的主要挑戰是建立在符號是生物世界的基本組成部分這一信念的基礎上，將生物學意義和信息自然化。

生物符號學引發了對生物學和符號學基本假設的重新思考。從這個角度來看，生物學應該認識到生命的符號性質，并相應地重塑其理論和方法，而符號學和人文學科應該承認人類領域之外的符號的存在。生物符號學處于生命基礎研究的前沿。通過挑戰對生命本質的傳統假設并提出替代觀點，它開辟了令人興奮的新研究道路。
