Semiotics and the philosophy of language

Umberto Eco

General Semiotics Indiana University Press 0253351685 Available

View details

Annotation: Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language comprehends the entire tradition of the doctrine of signs, threading its way through the symbolic and allegorical readings of the Holy Scriptures, the varying insights of the fields of philosophy and rhetoric, and into (and out of) the various positions of modern literary criticism. Individual chapters are devoted to the nature of signs; the theory of definition; the cognitive function of metaphors and symbols; mirror images, painting, film, and television; and the role of inference in the interpretation of texts

Annotation: Sherlock Holmes, nei racconti di Conan Doyle, parla sovente del suo metodo, e ne parla sempre en termini di "deduzioneL. Da tempo anche i logici i filosofi della scienza, quando discutono del metodo scientifico /ovvero della logica, della scoperta), dedicano sempre alcume rige, e spesso alcune pagine, a Sherlock Holmes, perché si sono resi conto che, seppure en forma narrativa, il celebre detective stava espondendo dei criteri di osservazione e scoperta, che sono affini a quelli del medico che diagnosctica una malattia, dello scienziato che interroga un fenomeno naturale, de filologo che deve prendere una decisione su un testo lacunoso, dello storico che deve ricostruire una situazione del passato sulla base di impresice testimonianze.

The Subject of Semiotics

Kaja Silverman

General Semiotics Oxford University Press 9780195031782 Available

View details

Annotation: Through the writings of Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, Jacques Lacan and others, the kindred disciplines of semiotics and structuralism have stirred enormous interest within European and American intellectual circles in recent years. With their focus on the ways in which signs, symbols, and cultural phenomena of all kinds convey meaning, these burgeoning theoretcial fields have had a special impact on the analysis of fil and literature. In this provocative book Kaja Silverman undertakes a new and challenging reading of recent semiotic and structuralist theory, arguing that films, novels, and poems cannot be studied in isolation from their viewers and readers.

What is Meaning?

Victoria Lady Welby

General Semiotics John Benjamins Publishing company 9027232725 Available

Other title information: Studies in the Development of Signifcance

Notes: Reprint of the edition London, 1903, with an Introductory essay by Gerrit Mannoury and a Preface by Achim Eschach.

Annotation: In "What is Meaning" (1903) the author elaborates on the fundamental tenets of her theory of sign, to which she gave the overall term significs . One of the main obstacles to an adequate theory of meaning, in Lady Welby s opinion, is the unfounded assumption of fixed sign meaning. "There is, strictly speaking, no such thing as the Sense of a word, but only the sense in which it is used the circumstances, state of mind, reference, universe of discourse belonging to it. The Meaning of a word is the intent which it is desired to convey the intention of the user. The Significance is always manifold, and intensifies its sense as well as its meaning, by expressing its importance, its appeal to us, its moment for us, its emotional force, its ideal value, its moral aspect, its universal or at least social range." This facsimile of the 1903 edition of "What is Meaning" is accompanied by an essay on "Significs as a Fundamental Science" by Achim Eschbach, and "A Concise History of Significs" by G. Mannoury.

Annotation: 1410 references to published literature in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese. 12 annotators wrote the abstracts and prepared a subject index. The bibliography includes works published in six languages that are directly concerned with the psychology or anthropology of body movement. Articles or books from areas such as dance therapy, motor learning, psycholinguistics, ethology, and physical education are included only if they deal in some way with behavioural aspects of movement per se and if they are focused clearly on body language – particularly research in body language as opposed to clinical or training program reports.
