During the last decades we were able to perceive inflation of studies in the social sciences which we can call that "what is symbolic" without much ambiguity. This should lead us to think that semiotics, linked to the study of this domain of significations would be that "what is symbolic", there might have lived a correlative quantitative and qualitative expansion. Effectively, we can see, that mentioning the term "semiotics" is abundant in ample zones of these disciplines however, what semiotics might be, the place it might have and its possible connection with the disciplines it is far from being determined. Consequently, among a multiplicity of papers (that we have groups in two great so called "traditions"; the one of superstructures and the one of "text") semiotics can be and can do many things, strictly speaking, it leads to in specificity in its tasks. We will try to move this state of affairs, at the same time we formulate some positive observations concerning everything mentioned above.
