In this book, Norbert Wiley offers a new interpretation of the nature of the self in society. Current theories of the self tend to either assimilate the self to a community or larger collective, or reduce the self to body. In distinct opposition to these theories, Wiley makes the case for an autonomous self, a human being who is a repository of rights, a free and equal agent in a democracy consisting of other selves.Drawing on a fresh synthesis of the writings of Charles Sanders Peirce, George Herbert Mead, and others, Wiley argues that the self can be seen as an internal conversation, or a "t

Most of these essays were written between 1963 and 1973 and constitute either the elements of the semiotic discipline or the analysis of textsranging from the Bible to advertisingin order to determine the site of possible meanings in narratives. Intent on discovering signification’s importance in art as well as life, Barthes sets up a rigorous system and puts it to work.

McGregor proposes and develops a new theory of grammar based on the notion of the linguistic sign. In interpreting language and its structure as a semiotic system consisting of signs, he provides a range of new analyses of well established syntactic and morphological relations, categories, and roles. This book constitutes an important and valuable contribution to linguistic theory, drawing on the author’s extensive knowledge of Australian Aboriginal languages, as well as discussing data from more familiar languages, such as English.

In "Semiotic Investigations", Alec McHoul develops a theory of meaning that he calls ’effective semiotics’ - a theory that investigates ’the ways in which signs have meaning by virtue of their actual uses’. As McHoul notes, ’these uses take place in a number of ’media,’ the most important of which is the medium of history - so important, in fact, that it catches up all the other possible media of semiosis, including everyday life and language, fiction, film, talk, art, mathematics, and photography’.McHoul expounds his theory of effective semiotic

This book provides an introduction to semiotic through readings from classic works in the field. In contrast with descriptions of communication systems based on the methods of empirical linguistics and interpretive studies of artistic means of communication, this text delimits semiotic as a logical study with its foundations in the theories of Greek and medieval logicians and the classifications of Charles Peirce. Clarke defines semiotic as the general theory that attempts to specify the logical features of signs and the similarities and differences among the great variety of forms they can ta
