Appunti su semiotica ed etologia: un dialogo (parzialmente) interrotto
Notes on semiotics and ethology: a (partially interrrupted diagolgue. The success of the chomskyan paradigm, combined with the anthropocentric turn of semiotics, has determined, since the seventies, a sort of divorce between semiotic studies and the ethological research. However, ethology, especially in its variant known as ‘cognitive’ ethology, has continued to use semiotic terminology in its approach to the communicative behavior of non-human animals.
