Abstract

The long history of cartography as a science, production and education shows that its general theory has always been consistent with the most urgent constantly changing requirements of society, making it an evolving scientific discipline, that develops nowadays in objective conditions of integration of sciences from various fields of knowledge : from natural to humanitarian sciences, methods of which are related. This integration process is perfectly illustrated by the theory of geo-images that focuses on the cognition of the peculiarities of the real-life objects representation forms obtained by related methods of various sciences. In our opinion, they have the affinity for the use of a single object language of cartography, the epistemological essence of which is proved in map semiotics, by virtue of which it is capable to occupy one of the most important content of the general theory of cartographic science. Key words: cartography, general theory, map-semiotics, linguistic concept, semiotic aspects of the content of the map, contour (form) of the sign.
