Summary/Abstract: One of the current pressing questions asked of biosemiotics is whether it is, principally, a biologization of semiotics, or a semiotization of biology. Notwithstanding the project’s acknowledgment of the latter, which is dear to many biosemioticians – nor the idea that biosemiotics is both of the foregoing – I tend to consider the biologization of semiotics as being of key importance. My first acquaintance with biosemiotics in the 1990s, directly through my acquaintance with Thomas A. Sebeok himself, left me with the impression that biosemiotics was radically recasting the very bases of semiotics, the humanities and the social sciences.
