The Law uses the terms, Action and Agency in several, significant ways which connect them with modern semiotic theory. In Law one of the main contexts for the idea of Acts is in Speech Acts which have become a major aspect of the philosophy of Language in the twentieth century; to Peirce, as the ???father??? of modern Semiotics, all thought is action, and thought has meaning to the extent that it has consequences in the world.
