Notes: general editor of the series Elize Bisanz
Annotation: In this book, Peirce’s logical apparatus is used to explain some topics in biology where traditional scientific methods fail to establish the relation between the real and the virtual in the genetic script, the irreducibility of evolution to the genome, and the multidimensionality of the passage from genotype to phenotype. The interdisciplinary nature of this study consists in combining Peirce’s triadic logic, linguistics and biology; the author, as a linguist, draws out similarities between sentence construction and protein folding. Three main branches from the biological sciences are focused on: evolution, epigenetics and protein folding. The volume applies Peirce’s logical tools to demonstrate the universal validity of his scientific method in the current research.

Other title information: The Tradition of Ferdinand de Saussure
Annotation: The book is an in-depth presentation of the European branch of semiotic theory, originating in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure. It has four parts: a historical introduction, the analysis of langue, narrative theory and communication theory. The book concerns the European branch of semiotic theory, originating in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure. It briefly reviews the historical schools of modern semiotics and then focuses on the Saussurean theory of the language system, the principles of narrative analysis as developed by A. J. Greimas, and the extension of this theoretical framework to the understanding of communication and the social nature of semiotic systems. It emphasizes the operational aspects of semiotics and matters of methodology and techniques, including the initiative of quantitative analysis.

(Re)considering Roman Jakobson
- Edition
- 1 edition
View details
Annotation: This book was initiated by a graduate course of Elin Sütiste about semiotics of Roman Jakobson (1896–1982), given in the Department of Semiotics, University of Tartu. The contributions include articles by the doctoral students as well as co-lectures, visiting scholars and colleagues. These seminars affirmed that Jakobson was truly an ambitious, forward-thinking scholar who exerted himself to establish semiotics as a discipline. Though Jakobson identified himself as a philologist, he played a pivotal role in the development and institutionalization of semiotics. Jakobson’s ability to grasp the potential of new ideas and to inspire others was remarkable. Juri Lotman has commented that “Wherever his fate of a mid-20th-century man took him, everywhere Jakobson attracted a group of scientists that soon grew into a scientific centre of global importance”.
