The Role of Semiotics in the Study of Language, Linguistics and Communication: An Overview
The Role of Semiotics in the Study of Language, Linguistics and Communication: An Overview
Author:Edna Andrews Format:PDF
"Abstract. The importance of semiotics to the study of language and linguistic theory in the twentieth century has been profound. In order to begin to grasp the scope of importance of this complex and multifaceted paradigm, one has to consider a wide range of sources, the most important of which include the works of Ferdinand de Saussure, Charles Sanders Peirce, the Prague School, Roman Jakobson, Thomas Sebeok, the Moscow/Tartu School, Yuri Lotman, Jakob von Uexküll, René Thom, and a significant group of American-based Slavic linguists, including many of Jakobson’s former students (van Schooneveld, Stankiewicz, Andersen, Shapiro, to name a few) and a second and third generation of Slavic linguists as well. Because it would be impossible to do justice to such a broad range of works in one paper, we might instead focus on some of the more powerful aspects of the influence of semiotic theory on l inguistic theory and the study of language. The following discussion will consider in brief the contributions of Peirce, Jakobson, Sebeok, Lotman, von Uexküll and Thom to the study of language."
