Abstract

In this paper we seek an understanding of the world of signs. More precisely the processes of creation and change of meanings by which humans pass every day, based on the works of Charles Sanders Peirce and Jorge Luis Borges that even with the fruits of their work in different studies converge at various times for same questions about the sign. Coming to the consideration we reach the end of this paper: Borgpeirce, which we consider as one character, serves as the foundation for a greater understanding of the human processes of signification.
