        This paper investigates the kind of sign making that goes on in text-based human-computer interaction, between human users and chatbots, from the point of view of integrational linguistics. A chatbot serves as a "conversational" user interface, allowing users to control computer programs in "natural language". From the user's perspective, the interaction is a case of semiologically integrated activity, but even if the textual traces of a chat may look like a written conversation between two humans the correspondence is not one-to-one. It is argued that chatbots cannot engage in communication processes, although they may display communicative behaviour. They presuppose a (second-order) language model, they can only communicate at the level of sentences, not utterances, and they implement communicational sequels by selecting from an inventory of executable skills. Instead of seeing them as interlocutors in silico, chatbots should be seen as powerful devices for humans to make signs with.
        Artiklis uuritakse integratsioonilise lingvistika vaatevinklist märgiloomet, mis toimub tekstipõhises inimese-arvuti koostoimimises inimkasutajate ja vestlusrobotite vahel. Vestlusrobot toimib „konversatsioonilise" kasutajaliidesena, võimaldades kasutajatel kontrol lida arvutiprogramme „loomulikus keeles". Kasutaja vaatevinklist on see koostoime semioloo giliselt lõimitud tegevuse juhtum, ent ehkki vestluse tekstuaalsed jäljed võivad välja näha nagu kahe inimese vaheline kõnelus, ei ole tegu üks-ühese vastavusega. Väidetakse, et vestlusrobotid ei suuda osaleda kommunikatsiooniprotsessides, kuigi nad võivad väliselt esitada kommunikatiivset suhtlemist. Nad eeldavad (teise astme) keelemudelit; nad suudavad kommunikatsioonis osaleda üksnes lause, mitte lausungi tasandil; ning nad teostavad jätkukommunikatsiooni, tehes valikuid sooritatavate oskuste nimistust. Selle asemel, et neid pidada vestluskaaslasteks in silico, peaks vestlusroboteid pidama võimsateks vahenditeks, mille abil inimesed märke loovad.
        В статье исследуется знакопроизводство при текстовом взаимодействии человека и компьютера (между человеком и чат-ботом) с точки зрения интеграционной линг - вистики. Чат-бот служит «разговорным» пользовательским интерфейсом, позволяя пользователям управлять компьютерными программами на «естественном языке». С точки зрения пользователя, взаимодействие - это случай семиологически интегри- рованной деятельности, но даже если текстовые следы чата могут выглядеть как записанный разговор между двумя людьми, это впечатление обманчиво. Утверждается, что чат-боты не могут участвовать в коммуникационных процессах, хотя могут демонстрировать коммуникативное поведение. Они предполагают языковую модель (второго порядка), они могут общаться только на уровне предложений, а не высказы- ваний, и они реализуют коммуникативные последовательности, выбирая из перечня доступных для исполнения навыков. Вместо того, чтобы рассматривать их как собе- седников в виртуальном пространстве (in silico), чат-ботов следует рассматривать как мощные устройства, с помощью которых человек может производитьь знаки.
