A New Semiotics (eBook, ePUB)

An Introductory Guide for Students

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A New Semiotics is an introductory guide to the field of semiotics. Assuming no prior knowledge of semiotics, this accessible text takes a fresh look at semiotics and suggests that many of the forebears and many contemporary contributors to semiotics have misconstrued the nature of their work.
