Jakob von Uexküll not only helped provide the theoretical groundwork on which modern ethology rests, but today he is also recognized as the founder of biosemiotics. Biosemiotics uses the notions of <i>semiosphere</i> and model proposed by the socalled Moscow-Tartu School conferring to them a meaning derived from <i>Umwelt</i> theory. Semiotician Thomas A. Sebeok has a pivotal role in this semantic increase. The notions of "modelling" and "interrelation" - implicit in Jakob von Uexküll’s research - are pivotal in Sebeok’s "global semiotics", which presupposes that <i>life</i> and <i>semiosis</i> coincide. The concept of interrelation can be developed in terms of Bakhtin’s "dialogism", extending the concept of dialogism beyond the sphere of anthroposemiosis to all communication processes in general.
