Semiotics is frequently seen as having important [[anthropological]] dimensions, for example [[Umberto Eco]] proposes that every cultural [[phenomenon]] can be studied as [[communication]]. However, some semioticians [[focus]] on the [[logic]]al [[dimensions]] of the [[science]]. They examine areas belonging also to the natural sciences - such as how [[organism]]s make predictions about, and adapt to, their semiotic niche in the world (see semiosis). In general, semiotic theories take signs or sign systems as their object of study: the communication of information in living organisms is covered in biosemiotics or zoosemiosis. | Semiotics is frequently seen as having important [[anthropological]] dimensions, for example [[Umberto Eco]] proposes that every cultural [[phenomenon]] can be studied as [[communication]].
