Principles of Semiotic

Principles of Semiotic

First published in 1987 this book is an attempt to re-establish semiotic on the basis of principles consistent with its past history rather than the ‘cultural semiotics’ of the European tradition and especially with the guiding ideas of Peirce and Morris.
