Abstract
The presented work is focused on the semiotics of law as a separate sphere of legal knowledge, which has a direct outlet to practice in the sense of relevant construction of signs in the form of terms, concepts, definitions, and scientific paradigms. The author refers to the evolution of the semiotics development, highlighting the main stages and key achievements that have become axioms to date. At the same time, the main components of semiosis are defined as a process, a way of the meaning cognition through a sign. Interpretation, which gives meaning to signs, which contributes to the cognition of the Other, is one of the main aspects in the process of cognition of signs. In the process of research, the author directly refers to legal semiotics, since law represents an endless system of signs and meanings that acquire sense through interpretation. The article attempts to substantiate the practical significance of semiotics for jurisprudence.
