Other title information: Towards a Solipsistic Paradigm of Semiotics

Notes: One of the copies of this book was given to the library by Ludmila Lackova

Annotation: This publication traces the human capacity for sign use from its linguistic and cultural context. Such scholarship suggests the foundation of a discursive paradigm for semiotics stuck in mundane phenomenology, associated inter alia with the contributions of Leo Zawadovski and Ernst Cassirer drawing their inspiration from Karl Buhler.

La triple chaîne prédicative

Other title information: Analogies biologiques et structures mathématiques pour un génotexte

Annotation: A partir des verbes opérateurs d’un texte, jusqu’à leur enchaînement complet et original en une triple chaîne prédicative, l’ouvrage construit des scénarios de schèmes dans le cadre théorique de la Grammaire Applicative et Cognitive. Il propose une analyse de comparaisons existantes entre le génome et l’alphabet ou le texte, mettant en exergue la nécessité de niveaux d’analyse. A travers une série d’analogies, et une réflexion de ce fait interdisciplinaire, ces structures du langage sont mises en relation avec des structures mathématiques et biologiques : l’ADN, les protéines, la formation de l’embryon, selon des niveaux de comparaison. Construit par ses opérateurs qui mettent en œuvre un concept, le texte se déploie à partir de repères topologiques internes, tel le système nerveux puis le corps à la suite des cellules neurales. Une topologie textuelle devient appropriée pour décrire ce processus. From the operator verbs of a text, to their complete and original chaining in a triple predicative chain, the work constructs scenarios of schemes in the theoretical framework of Applicative and Cognitive Grammar. It proposes an analysis of existing comparisons between the genome and the alphabet or the text, highlighting the need for levels of analysis. Through a series of analogies, and a reflection of this interdisciplinary fact, these structures of language are related to mathematical and biological structures: DNA, proteins, the formation of the embryo, according to levels of comparison. Constructed by its operators who implement a concept, the text unfolds from internal topological markers, such as the nervous system then the body following the neural cells. A textual topology becomes appropriate to describe this process. (translated with Google Translate)

Semiosis and Catastrophes

Linguistics Peter Lang Publishing 9783034304672 Available

Other title information: René Thom’s Semiotic Heritage

Annotation: The central concern of this volume is semiogenesis, i.e. the evolution and differentiation of meaningful («pregnant») forms in the field of symbolic systems – from bio-communication to language and cultural forms like music, art, architecture or urban forms. The basic questions are: How are meanings created and further differentiated? Where do they come from? What kind of forces drive their unfolding? How can complex cultural forms be understood based on simple morphodynamic principles? Applications concern the perception of forms by animals and humans, the categorization of forms e.g. in a lexicon, and predication or other complex symbolic behaviors which show up in grammar or in cultural artifacts like the unfolding of urban centers.

The Cognitive Semiotics of Film

Warren Buckland

Arts - performing | visual Cambridge University Press 0521780055 Available

View details

Annotation: In The Cognitive Semiotics of Film, Warren Buckland argues that the conflict between cognitive film theory and contemporary film theory is unproductive. Examining and developing the work of 'cognitive film semiotics', a neglected branch of film theory that combines the insights of congitive semiotics, he investigates Michel Colin's cognitive semantic theory of film; Francesco Casetti and Christian Metz' theories of film enunciation... etc.

Semiotic Grammar

William McGregor

Edition
1 edition

General Semiotics Claredon Press | Oxford university press 0198236883 Available

View details

Annotation: The label `semiotic grammar' captures a fundamental property of the grammars of human languages: not only is language a semiotic system in the familiar Saussurean sense, but its organizing system, its grammar, is also a semiotic system. This proposition, explicated in detail by William McGregor in this book, constitutes a new theory of grammar. Semiotic Grammar is `functional' rather than `formal' in its intellectual origins, approaches, and methods. It demonstrates, however, that neither a purely functional nor a purely formal account of language is adequate, given the centrality of the sign as the fundamental unit of grammatical analysis. The author distinguishes four types of grammatical signs: experiential, logical, interpersonal, and textural. The signifiers of these signs are syntagmatic relationships of the following types, respectively: constituency, dependency, conjugational and linking. McGregor illustrates and exemplifies the theory with data from a variety of languages including English, Acehnese, Polish, Finnish, Japanese, Chinese, and Mohawk; and from his pioneering research on Gooniyandi and Nyulnyul, two languages of the Kimberleys region of Western Australia.
