The importance of signs and signification has been recognized throughout much of the [[history]] of [[philosophy]], and in [[psychology]] as well. [[Plato]] and [[Aristotle]] both explored the [[relationship]] between signs and the world, and [[Augustine]] considered the [[nature]] of the sign within a [[convention]]al [[system]]. These theories have had a lasting effect in Western philosophy, especially through Scholastic philosophy. More recently, Umberto Eco, in his Semiotics and philosophy of language, has argued that semiotic theories are implicit in the work of most, perhaps all, major thinkers.

Early theorists in this area include Charles W. Morris.[7] Max Black attributes the work of Bertrand Russell as being seminal.[8][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiotics]
