據索緒爾，符號學是研究能指與所指的學問。在符號學中所找到的原則，不只能夠應用在語言學上，也能夠應用在金融科學上。這將開啟一項新的研究領域。我們或許會稱他為金融符號學。

這個符號學的分支將語言學與金融科學整合成了一個完整的領域。伯斯將符號學定義為符號的科學學說。他所謂的學說意指一個理論的系統；這個系統是基於人為鑽研出的概念與準則。從柏斯以後，這個符號學的領域就真正地成為一門廣大的學科。

符號學現在包括了動物溝通學、肢體語言學、藝術理論、隱喻論、神話論、以及媒體研究。總之，就是包含了所有讓人類生活變得有趣或者是驚怖的事物，包括了我們常常提到的金融海嘯這頭怪獸。

According to Saussure, semiology consists of the study of signifier and signified, and principles found in semiology or semiotics would not only be applicable to linguistics but also to the science of finance. This is going to be a new field of investigation which we might call financial semiotics. This new branch of semiotics will integrate both linguistics and the science of finance into one well-defined territory.

Peirce defined semiotics as the scientific” doctrine” of signs-the term doctrine refers to a theoretical system of knowledge based on artificially worked out concepts and principles. Since Peirce, the field of semiotics has become truly enormous.

It now includes, among other things, the study of how animals communicate, body language, of the arts, of metaphor, of myths, of media messages-in sum, of anything that makes human life interesting or appalling, including the animal we call Financial Tsunami.
