OPOJAZ (ОПОЯЗ) (, Obščestvo izučenija POètičeskogo JAZyka, "Society for the Study of Poetic Language") was a prominent group of linguists and literary critics in St. Petersburg founded in 1916 and dissolved by the early 1930s. The group included Viktor Shklovsky, Boris Eikhenbaum, Osip Brik, Boris Kušner and Yury Tynianov. Along with the Moscow linguistic circle it was responsible for the development of Russian formalism and literary semiotics. It was dissolved under political pressure as "formalism" came to be a political term of opprobrium in the Soviet state.

The semiosphere is a concept in cultural semiotics and biosemiotic theory, according to which—contrary to ideas of nature determining sense and experience—the phenomenal world is a creative and logical structure of processes of semiosis where signs operate together to produce sense and experience.
