Okay, so then semiotics is mostly a set of proofs I take it. What, then, are the major assumptions underlying those proofs and which are the most important proofs built on those assumptions?
Semiotics seems to be the idea that everything should be analyzed in terms of its communicative function.
No. That explanation was a way of explaining why "semiotics" as a general field of study is not actually going to be able to say anything interesting at all.
