All sign processes in which human beings but also other animals participate; more specifically – the human use and formation of signs. Art, science, religion, and language, at least in their complex manifestations, are examples of anthroposemiosis in a narrower sense.
The unique or characteristic animal species is species-specific. Anthroposemiosis can refer to the full spectrum of human semiosis (including manifestations from other animal species), or, more narrowly, only to those forms of semiosis specific to Homo sapiens.
