Semiology and Its Relationship with Linguistics and Philology: A Foundational Study

Abstract

Research in the field of semiology makes the researcher absolutely certain that this science is intertwined with other sciences of various types and categories. Its arms extend to all sciences, including sociology, logic, rhetoric, psychology, and social science. What concerns us in this research is its intersection with linguistics and language sciences; we have limited our focus to these two fields. Our aim is to explore whether semiology benefits these sciences or vice versa, and whether it is a part of them or follows them. This is what we attempt to clarify, with God's help and strength. We explain the relationship between semiology and linguistics and language sciences, starting with an introduction that confirms the connection of semiology with many other sciences, particularly linguistics and language sciences, due to its close and interrelated relationship with these two inseparable fields. In the first section, we discuss the relationship between semiology and linguistics, highlighting the importance of this relationship briefly. In the second section, we address the relationship between semiology and language sciences. We then delve into the branches that emerged from Saussure's book on linguistics, concluding with a list of sources and references.
