About the Society

The Polish Semiotics Society (PTS) was founded in 1968 at the initiative of distinguished scholars such as Prof. Jerzy Pelc and Prof. Stefan Żółkiewski. Its mission is to promote research in semiotics—the study of signs and sign-systems—and to foster collaboration among researchers from diverse disciplines, including philosophy, linguistics, logic and communication theory.

For many years, Jerzy Pelc served as PTS’s President as well as the principal driving force and custodian of its activities.

Since its inception, PTS has organised regular conferences, symposia and seminars that provide a platform for exchanging ideas and showcasing the latest advances in semiotics. The Society also collaborates with international bodies such as the International Association for Semiotic Studies and publishes both Studia Semiotyczne and the Library of Semiotic Thought.

Over more than fifty years, PTS has significantly shaped the field of semiotics in Poland by supporting academic publications, translating key works and initiating educational programmes. Thanks to the dedication of its members, semiotics has become a vital strand of the Polish scholarly landscape, enriching numerous humanities and social-science disciplines.
