Thomas Albert Sebeok was a pioneering linguist and semiotician, credited as one of the originators of biosemiotics. His work delved into the study of non-human signaling and communication systems, significantly shaping the field. As the long-time editor-in-chief of the seminal journal Semiotica, he curated and advanced discourse in semiotics. Sebeok's profound influence continues to resonate within linguistic and semiotic studies.
Offers an account of the rise of semiotics in the United States. This work focuses on salient individuals and intellectual issues, including theatre, television, folklore, sociology, tourism, and graphic design. It also examines semiotic applications to architecture, marketing and advertising, jurisprudence, and medicine.
This updated second edition of Signs combines some of Sebeok?s most important essays with a new general introduction, introductory passages at the outset of each chapter, a glossary, and brief biographies of the major semioticians. schovat popis
