Personal information security has become a critical concern in the digital era, so it is imperative to clearly delimit and define personal information. This study examines personal information legislation from a sociosemiotic perspective to identify the similarities and differences between legislation in the United States and China. It reviews the evolution of personal information in both countries, and explores their differences in the definition of privacy, the status quo of personal information legislation, the definition of personal information and cross-border personal information flow. The findings indicate that (1) personal information, noted as a social sign, has context-sensitive characteristics, i.e., spatiality and temporality; (2) the meaning-making process of personal information is a continuum; and (3) there exists an intersemiotic operation between language, law and society. Such a sociosemiotic exploration can shed light on relevant studies in the sociosemiotic analysis of legal discourse in particular as well as other context-sensitive discourses in general.

The medical service system is an important guarantee for human rights to survival, health and development of every social member, and thus it is significant to explore, interpret and explain the diachronic construction for its legislative reform. In a corpus approach, the study firstly collects the medical-related statutes from 1990 to 2021 in China to build the P.R.C. Medical Legislation Corpus (PRCMLC), and analyzes the keywords and their collocation in the exploratory, explosive and expanding phase of the medical legislative reform. Secondly, from the perspectives of sociosemiotics, the PRCMLC data is combined with the concrete medical laws and regulations for further discussion of the MSS, MIS, DSS and PHS in legislative system. Thirdly, the study explores the core legislative ideas and the relationships among the subsystems in the diachronic analysis, which provide a general overview of the legislative objects, target, participants and mechanisms in the medical reform of China.
