摘要：Zoosemiotics can mean two quite different things. According to a more common usage, it is the study of animal semioses, i.e. animal communication and animal umwelten, or meaning-making and knowing in animals. ‘Animals’ are understood here as members of the kingdom Animalia. Except the natural languages of humans which are left for linguistics to be studied, all other sign systems of Animalia are of interest for zoosemiotics. Another meaning in which the term is occasionally used is a semiotic study of zoos. This would include the study of human–animal communication in zoos, semiotics of zoo architecture and representation of zoos in the media, etc. In order to mark the difference in pronunciation, a distinction is sometimes made in the spelling – zoösemiotics and zoosemiotics, respectively.
