摘要:This essay reexamines Semiotics under the light of the social practiceand communication.Taking the semiotic fact as a communicational one, the notionof conventionality and the factors of contextual and factic order are hereconsidered.The idea of social practice brings up-to-date components of historical,ideological and cultural order, which build up a system of reference where thesubject articulates himself.The author expatiates upon the visibility in the literalexpression, pointing out the capacities of the languages — since they are signicalprocesses — in order to build up referentials.
