Description
The purpose of this anthology is to provide students taking semiotics for the first time, as well as the general reader, with material that will give them an overview of what semiotics is and does. Classic works, such as R. Jakobson, Linguistics and Poetics, C.S. Peirce, Logic as Semiotic: The Theory of Signs, and S.K. Langer, Discursive and Presentational Forms, as well as original pieces written specifically for this anthology, allow the student a glimpse into what semiotics is, who some of its founders and practitioners are, and how to think semiotically. Introducing Semiotics is an innovative text that provides a glossary of terms to facilitate comprehension.
