Semiosis (from the , sēmeíōsis, a derivation of the verb , sēmeiô, "to mark") is any form of activity, conduct, or process that involves signs, including the production of meaning. Briefly – semiosis is sign process. The term was introduced by Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914) to describe a process that interprets signs as referring to their objects, as described in his theory of sign relations, or semiotics. Semiosis is triadic and cyclic. Other theories of sign processes are sometimes carried out under the heading of semiology, following on the work of Ferdinand de Saussure (1857–1913).

This is certainly the most impressive account of semiosis that allows sign systems to evolve, generate new signs, critique themselves, reorganize themselves, and generally to change.
