Summary/Abstract: There is a justified opinion that Finland is the land of semiotics. Namely, the Semiotic Society of Finland was founded at the end of the 1970s, and now is one of the largest in the world. Semiotics is part of the curriculum of many academic institutions in the country. Among them is the University of Helsinki, i.e., the Department of Musicology. Besides, the International Semiotics Institute (ISI) was established at Imatra in 1988, in order to assemble semioticians from all over the world and to support international teaching of semiotics. The Institute is a place where many manifestations have taken place, such as the summer congress, winter schools, seminars, meetings of the Finish Semiotic Society, and Nordic Association of Semiotics. The result of developed collaboration with Bloomington/Indiana University, USA, is the Acta Semiotica Fennica, an international series of collections of papers as well as monographs.
