“…Biohermeneutics places an emphasis on epigenetics, on the transmission of epigenetic marks to the organism's offspring, and on what this implies for the relationship between DNA sequences and the coded proteins. Together with previous branches of biosemiotics and biocommunication summarized in this review, such a novel approach breaks with the unidirectional dogma of molecular biology as of universal applicability (Lacková, 2019;Markoš & Švorcová, 2019a).…”

“…Thus, if Peirce semiotics necessarily requires an interpretive element for there to be semiosis, then the threshold is determined by the relationships in which that element can be identified. Interpretation at the molecular biology level of biological complexity is being positively considered by various authors, for example in prion proteins (Coca et al., 2021), allosteric enzymes (Meacham, 2016), intrinsically disordered proteins and moonlight proteins (Lacková, 2019), ribozymes (Lehman et al., 2014) and RNA virus populations (Gómez, 2020; Gómez et al., 2015; Sharov, 2010).…”

Information concepts from physics, mathematics and computer science support many areas of research in biology. Their focus is on objective information, which provides correlations and patterns related to objects, processes, marks and signals. In these approaches only the quantitative aspects of the meaning of the information is relevant. In other areas of biology, ‘meaningful information’, which is subjective in nature, relies on the physiology of the organism's sensory organs and on the interpretation of the perceived signals, which is then translated into action, even if this is only mental (in brained animals). Information is involved, in terms of both amount and quality. Here we contextualize and review the main theories that deal with ‘meaningful‐information’ at a molecular level from different areas of natural language research, namely biosemiotics, code‐biology, biocommunication and biohermeneutics. As this information mediates between the organism and its environment, we emphasize how such theories compare with the neo‐Darwinian treatment of genetic information, and how they project onto the rapid evolution of RNA viruses. image

Peirce’s sign model is introduced as incompatible with structural semiology in the majority of semiotics textbooks. In this paper, I would like to argue against this general polarization of the semiotic discipline. I focus on compatibilities between Lucien Tesnière’s syntactic theory (verbal valency) and Peirce’s logic of relatives. My main argument is that structural linguistics is not necessarily dyadic, and that Peirce’s sign doctrine is perfectly structural. To define the structural approach in Peirce, I analyze the notions of form (structure) and substance in Hjelmslev and Peirce. The aim of my argument is to contribute to attempts to introduce Peirce’s theory to the field of linguistics in the hope that such an integration will be beneficiary for general linguistics. To extend and support my argument, I provide some examples from biology where Peirce’s theory has been applied. I demonstrate an analogy between the biological structures of proteins and the structure of a sentence with Peirce’s own writings. I consequently introduce Peirce as the first structural semiologist and as the first biolinguist.
