Two traditions seem to have developed separately and without interpenetration in the 'semiotic landscape'. That is, Anglo-saxon semioticians consider the Peircean framework to provide the adequate conceptual apparatus for their empirical research, whereas the so-called Continental semioticians refer to the sign theory in Saussure and in its interpretation by Hjelmslev (for instance, the Ecole s~miotique de Paris: A.J. Greimas and followers). The two orientations, apparently, have ignored each other and manifested mutual distrust. It may, therefore, prove to be of importance and interest to go back to the central intuitions of Peirce, on the one hand, and of Saussure/ Hjelmslev, on the other, in order to weigh possible solidarities and contrasts between them. The evaluation of their projects, methods, and results could, thus, lead to a more balanced view. And the purpose of my paper is to get the best out of the adequate insights from both sides, and to make som suggestions of how the semioticians from the Peircean and Saussuro-Hjelmslevian school can remove themselves from their isolationist positions. In the couse of my discussion, the objective of comparing and homologating (in part) the two semiotics will be carried out from three angles: f'Lrst, the context of origin of both semiotics, then the typology of sign relations in Peirce and Saussure/Hjelmslev, and finally the impact of pragmaticism on both semiotic orientations.
