(Redirected from Thomas A. Sebeok)
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.
In 1944, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States.
