“…It is certain, for example, that Piaget's (1971) genetic epistemology, in which all semiosis arises from transactional sensorimotor schemata (Baer 1980), is a superb parallel to Uexküll's Umwelt theory and one which perhaps allows in the long run the best approach to Thorn's powerful synthesis. I am thinking here especially of the Piagetian transition from preoperational to operational thought which involves the semiotically most important principle of reversibility and which McNeill (1979) has translated into Peircean terminology as 'semiotic extension' from sensorimotor schemata to nonsensorimotor concepts.…”
