description Semiotics, appeared as a significant field in the history of thought in the beginning of the twentieth century, was applied to various scientific approaches and developed parallel to them. The approach labelled in the 1990s as “ecosemiotics”, “ecological semiotics” or “semiotic ecology” has taken an essential part particularly in literary studies that is the most significant branch of cultural transmission. Ecosemiotics formed by the idea that nature speaks via certain signs depicts the semiotic function between man and its relation to ecosystem. Ecosemiotics, accepted as a component of cultural semiotics, gets close to the fields such as sociology, ethnology, environmental psychology and environmental anthropology in this sense. By starting with the idea that all other systems beside human being have a semiotic structure, this approach examines the relationship between man and nature from a semiotic point of view.
