It is an exploratory bibliographical research, supported by a line of reasoning that privileged the perspective of language structured in visual signs. Recognizing the importance of Graphic Semiology for the development of a theoretical-methodological systematization of cartographic language, the work identifi es the influences of this formulation, coming from the researches in the fi eld of linguistics, especially the Semiology of Ferdinand Saussure. But he also emphasizes the less known scope of Gestalt psychology, whose studies on visual perception appear in Bertin’s proposal for visual variables.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/MapaComunicação cartográficaLinguagem visualCartografiaMapCartographic communicationVisual languageCartographyArtigo
