67Semiotics and Jakob von Uexküll’s concept of umweltSign Systems Studies 32 (1-2): 11-33. 2004.Semiotics, the body of knowledge developed by study of the action of signs, like every living discipline, depends upon a community of inquirers united through the recognition and adoption of basic principles which establish the ground-concepts and guide-concepts for their ongoing research.
