            semiotics, linguistics, cognitive science and related
            fields, from several European and North American research
            centres, have experienced the needs to combine theoretical
            knowledge and methodological expertise in order to be able
            to tackle challenging questions concerning the nature of
            meaning, the role of consciousness, the unique cognitive
            features of mankind, the interaction of nature and nurture
            in development, and the interplay of biological and cultural
            evolution in phylogeny. The product of these collaborations
