{{Semiotics}}
'''Computational semiotics''' is an interdisciplinary field that applies, conducts, and draws on research in [[logic]], [[mathematics]], the [[theory of computation|theory]] and [[computer programming|practice]] of [[computer science|computation]], [[formal language|formal]] and [[natural language|natural]] [[linguistics|language studies]], the [[cognitive science]]s generally, and [[semiotics]] proper. The term encompasses both the application of semiotics to computer hardware and software design and, conversely, the use of computation for performing semiotic analysis. The former focuses on what semiotics can bring to computation; the latter on what computation can bring to semiotics.
