We examine the possibility of shifting the concept of choice to the centre of the semiotic theory of learning. Thus, we define sign process (meaning-making) through the concept of choice: semiosis is the process of making choices between simultaneously provided options. We define semiotic learning as leaving traces by choices, while these traces influence further choices. We term such traces of choices memory. Further modification of these traces (constraints) will be called habituation. Organic needs are homeostatic mechanisms coupled with choice-making. Needs and habits result in motivatedness. Semiosis as choice-making can be seen as a complementary description of the Peircean triadic model of semiosis; however, this can fit also the models of meaning-making worked out in other shools of semiotics. We also provide a sketch for a joint typology of semiosis and learning.

选择与学习：符号化意味着选择

我们研究了将选择的概念转移到符号学习理论中心的可能性。因此，我们通过选择的概念来定义符号过程（含义的产生）：符号化是在同时提供的选项之间做出选择的过程。我们将符号学习定义为通过选择留下痕迹，而这些痕迹会影响其他选择。我们称这种选择记忆的痕迹。这些痕迹（约束）的进一步修改将被称为习惯化。有机需求是与选择结合的体内平衡机制。需求和习惯导致动力。符号选择作为选择可以看作是Peircean符号体系三元模型的补充描述。但是，这也可以适合其他符号学学校制定的意义创造模型。
