Peirce’s sign model is introduced as incompatible with structural semiology in the majority of semiotics textbooks. In this paper, I would like to argue against this general polarization of the semiotic discipline. I focus on compatibilities between Lucien Tesnière’s syntactic theory (verbal valency) and Peirce’s logic of relatives. My main argument is that structural linguistics is not necessarily dyadic, and that Peirce’s sign doctrine is perfectly structural. To define the structural approach in Peirce, I analyze the notions of form (structure) and substance in Hjelmslev and Peirce. The aim of my argument is to contribute to attempts to introduce Peirce’s theory to the field of linguistics in the hope that such an integration will be beneficiary for general linguistics. To extend and support my argument, I provide some examples from biology where Peirce’s theory has been applied. I demonstrate an analogy between the biological structures of proteins and the structure of a sentence with Peirce’s own writings. I consequently introduce Peirce as the first structural semiologist and as the first biolinguist.

结构符号学、皮尔士和生物语言学

在大多数符号学教科书中，皮尔士的符号模型被认为与结构符号学不相容。在本文中，我想反对符号学学科的这种普遍两极分化。我关注的是 Lucien Tesnière 的句法理论（动词效价）和 Peirce 的关系逻辑之间的兼容性。我的主要论点是，结构语言学不一定是二元的，皮尔士的符号学说是完全结构性的。为了定义皮尔斯的结构方法，我分析了耶尔姆斯列夫和皮尔斯的形式（结构）和实质的概念。我的论点的目的是尝试将皮尔士的理论引入语言学领域，希望这种整合能够有利于普通语言学。为了扩展和支持我的论点，我提供了一些应用皮尔士理论的生物学例子。我用皮尔士自己的著作展示了蛋白质的生物结构和句子结构之间的类比。因此，我将皮尔士介绍为第一位结构符号学家和第一位生物语言学家。
