Publisher's Synopsis
Semiotics, the science of signs, is at the heart of debates on the nature of human communication, cognitive processes and language. This volume is a synthesis of the most important work of Thomas Sebeok, one of this century's greatest semioticians. It covers fundamental issues of contemporary semiotics as it applies to the visual behavioural, cognitive and social sciences. It should be of interest to a wide range of scholars and students in linguistics, language, psychology and social anthropology.
