From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Thomas Albert Sebeok (born in Budapest, Hungary, on Nov. 9, 1920 - died December 21, 2001 in Bloomington, Indiana) was a semiotician. He was one of the most prolific and wide-ranging of American semioticians. He expanded the purview of semiotics to include non-human signaling and communication systems thus raising some of the issues addressed by philosophy of mind and coining the term zoosemiotics. He is also the creator of biosemiotics.
