The Rise and the fall from Science to Method

At the beginning of the twentieth century, along with the publication of Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Pierse's ideas, the semiotics phenomenon was propounded as a new science in discussions related to language, literature, literary and cultural criticism. Semiotics has always been beside structuralism and has always been dealt with as a branch of structuralism. The actual question is whether semiotics is a science by itself and should be discussed in the realm of science or rather it is just a scientific method? This article tries to investigate the present situation for this phenomenon in humanities, art and literature and deals with its background and changes, as well.
