The Major Problem Semiotics Is Now Facing and the Historiographic Bit of the Solution: The Reply Submitted to the 1st Question Asked by Kalevi Kull & Ekaterina Velmezova (Plus a Briefly Expanded Version)

After Kalevi Kull and Ekaterina Velmezova asked us about the main problems that semiotics should address in the near future, we replied as set out in this document, but not before drafting a longer response, which is also available here. For context, to find the second question posed by Kull and Velmezova and our answer, as well as the responses from other scholars to both questions, take a look at Kull, K., & Velmezova, E. (2024). Semiotics now. Sign Systems Studies, 52(3–4), 543–593. DOI: 10.12697/SSS.2024.52.3-4.11. How to cite: Junqueira, R. (2025, July 3).

在卡莱维·库尔（Kalevi Kull）与叶卡捷琳娜·维尔梅佐娃（Ekaterina Velmezova）就符号学近期应聚焦解决的核心议题征询我们的意见后，我们先起草了一份篇幅更长的回复（该长回复亦可在此处获取），最终形成了本文件中的答复内容。如需获取完整背景，包括库尔与维尔梅佐娃提出的第二个问题、我们的对应答复，以及其他学者对两个问题的回应，可参阅以下文献：Kull, K., & Velmezova, E.
