The Greek root for semiology and for semiotics—the two terms used for the sciences that deal with signs—is sēmeîon, which means sign. These sciences have a long history, dating back more than two thousand years. The “father of medicine,” Hippocrates (460–377 BC) was interested in signs and their relation to medical symptoms; philosophers and scholars after him, such as Plato, Aristotle, Saint Augustine, and Locke, also dealt with signs in their writings.
