Editor’s Note With the development of Peircean semiotics since the 1980s, a new field beyond culture and logic has been established by studies on semiosis: biosemiotics. In biosemiotics, the interaction between life and the environment leads the pre-linguistic structure of meaning into the scope of semiotics, providing a new approach for biology and, more importantly, promoting the study of cultural semiotics. In the section “Biosemiotics”, interactions between these different fields are discussed. Han-liang Chang examines Aristotle’s categorisation and traces its reception and survival in academic history from the perspective of biological taxonomy. Zhou Liqian ponders the new paradigm provided to biology by biological semiotics to deal with the crisis of Neo-Darwinism. Timothy Ireland discusses the possibility of biosemiotics of architecture from the theory of Frederick Kiesler. Han Lei explores humans’ Umwelt and species-specificity in the context of Laozi. Semiotic thought in Chinese traditional culture is a constant focus. In the section “Traditional Semiotic Thoughts in China”, Xie Qingguo and Zhang Dan explore the signifying mechanism and cultural connotation of bronzes. Zhu Dong and Li Guiquan discuss Tao from the perspective of semiotics but with different focuses: Zhu compares Taoism with Marxist semiotics, and Li examines the way of existence and semiosis of Tao. Su Zhi explains the image-taking thought and the characteristics of codes in Zhouyi based on weak coding theory. The classics and philosophy of traditional culture are the treasures of Chinese semiotic studies. The new section “Philosophical Semiotics” provides a platform for scholars to explore meaning theory from multiple dimensions. In this section, Fu Feixiong elaborates on the origin and innovation of Ricoch’s discourse theory. Dong Minglai studies Husserl’s analysis of presentation and judgement as intentional acts expressed by name and assertion. Tan Guanghui discusses the features of emotion in the sign-text from the coordination of two axes. He Yijie takes noise as the meaningless elements of signs and explores its communicative mechanism. In addition, in the section “Theory and Application”, our contributors explore the narrative, translation and communication of signs. We will continue to keep a close eye on the above fields to continually further the development of semiotics.
