Abstract

The presence of semiotic theories in the Brazilian literature on information and documentation is identified and discussed. The results show that Peirce’s semiotics, despite its recent appearance on Documentation, has been relatively consistent and dominant in the semiotic studies produced in the discipline. Thus, semiotic theories are present in the theoretical composition of the Brazilian Information Science. Also, the analyzed studies show a paradigm shift from the linguistic perspective towards the general semiotics approach.
