摘要： 总体符号学作为西比奥克提出的符号学构想，兼有总体性与全球性的面向，研究对象包含生命符号域内的所有符号，而对瘟疫之症状的命名、修辞与书写的研究，正属这一范畴。瘟疫在词源学上被“污染”影射，亦是“罪”之隐喻，透过与地域和人群的转喻性联接，在语义上成为被“区隔”的意指。然而，随着现代医学命名方式的发展，瘟疫的命名与书写已经被置放在包含了微生物在内的、总体的和全球的生命网络之中被重新思考，瘟疫之表征的意义生产，也由此跳脱宗教话语的隐喻，值得在伦理符号学的框架中被重新塑造。

Abstract:  Global Semiotics, a conception put forward by Thomas A. Sebeok, is all-encompassing and planetary. Its research objects include all signs of bio-semiosphere. The symptoms, the naming and rhetoric of plagues and writings on them are all important topics in global semiotic studies. Plague is a metaphor of both “pollution” and “crime” in the light of etymology, and designates an isolated, segregated or expelled object in terms of semantics as a result of its metonymic connection with a specified locality or community. Yet, with the development of modern medical science, the naming of and writings on plagues have been reexamined in the all-encompassing and planetary life web which consists of all creatures: human beings, animals, plants, microorganisms, etc.. The meaning generation of plague as a sign is no longer confined to the metaphorical frame in religions, but a topic worthy of further exploration from the perspective of ethic semiotics.
