   • 2006, Jacques Fontanille, The Semiotics of Discourse, →ISBN, page 205:

     The semiotic experience in the semiosphere, according to Lotman, precedes the production of discourses because it is one of their conditions. The semiosphere is above all the domain that allows culture to define itself and to situate itself, in order to be able to dialogue with other cultures; it is also a field whose dialogical functioning has as its principle task to regulate and resolve semio-cultural heterogeneities.
