Language and Human Behaviour

Derek Bickerton

Linguistics UCL Press Limited 1857285417 Available

View details

Annotation: Bickerton argues that each of the properties distinguishing human intelligence and consciousness from that of other animals can be shown to derive straightforwardly from properties of language. In essence, language arose as a representational system, not a means of communication or a skill, and not a product of culture but an evolutionary adaptation.

Semiotics and the modern Quebec novel

Paul Perron

Dependent title
a Greimassian analysis of Thériault's Agaguk

Literature University of Toronto Press 0802009263 Available

View details

Annotation: The most popular novel in Quebec since the Second World War, Yves Theriault's Agaguk was published just before the Quiet Revolution, a period of major political and cultural transformation that radically altered Quebec society at the beginning of the 1960s. In this original socio-semiotic reading of the novel in translation, inspired by A.J. Greimas and the Paris School of Semiotics, Paul Perron examines the Inuit setting and characters of Agaguk as metaphors for Quebec society. Semiotics and the Modern Quebec Novel is one of the few semiotic analyses to deal with an entire novel, and illustrates the heuristic value of this complex methodology with respect to long prose texts in English.

Origins of Semiosis

editor Winfried Nöth

General Semiotics Mouton de Gruyter 3110141965 Available

View details

Other title information: Sign Evolution in Nature and Culture

Annotation: The all-comprehensive scope set by the topic of Origins of Semiosis necessarily encompasses a great thematic diversity. The disciplinary horizon of the contributors to this volume is also highly diverse: it extends from anthropology to zoology and from linguistics to visual aesthetics. Unity in this diversity may be provided by the transdisciplinary framework of semiotics which guides the authors' explorations in the evolution of semiosis, even though the framework of this volume is by no means one of a unifying school of specific semiotic theory.

Signs Becoming Signs

Floyd Merrell

General Semiotics Indiana University Press 0253337461 Available

View details

Other title information: Our Perfusive, Persuasive Universe

Notes: 1st book in trilogy "Signs Becoming Signs)

Annotation: Signs Becoming Signs evinces a broad transdisciplinary perspective based on the thinking of Charles Sanders Peirce. The universe as a perfusion of signs incessantly spilling forth into other signs- evolutionary, processual, ongoing semiosis- resists precise conceptualization. As within St. Augustine's time, we might somehow fleetingly experience it, sense it, almost know it, but upon our attempting to say it, it will already have sublimated into unknowing: thus the breach between our 'semiotically real' world and the 'real', between our incorrigible ideals and our real capacities.

Other title information: actes de la décade tenue au Centre culturel international de Cerisy-la-Salle du 4 au 14 août 1983

Annotation: Fruit d'une décade tenue au Centre culturel de Cerisy en 1983, l'ouvrage réunit une quinzaine de contributions que sont autant de signes d'ouverture de la part d'une discipline en cours d'évolution. La mise en question porte à la fois sur les postulats (philosophiques et épistemologiques) de la sémiotique, sur ses méthodes (notament face à de noveaux domaines d'investigation comme la musique ou l'architecture) et sur ses enjeus (en particulier quant au status du "sujet" - suje d'énonciation, suject "analytique", sujet de l'interaction sociale). Avec une importante intervention d'A.J. Greimas, que répond ici, sur un ton quasi improvisé, aux questions de l'assistance. Débat avec Paul Ricœur.. The result of a decade held at the Cerisy Cultural Center in 1983, the book brings together some fifteen contributions that are signs of openness on the part of a discipline in the process of evolution. The questioning concerns both the postulates (philosophical and epistemological) of semiotics, its methods (notably in the face of new areas of investigation such as music or architecture) and its challenges (in particular regarding the status of the "subject" - subject of enunciation, "analytical" subject, subject of social interaction). With an important intervention by A.J. Greimas, who answers here, in an almost improvised tone, the questions of the audience. Debate with Paul Ricœur. (Translated with Google translate)
