This Routledge Companion is the first reference resource to combine the complex and closely related fields of semiotics and linguistics. Edited by communications specialist Paul Cobley, it has ten introductory essays written by pace-setting figures in the field. These are followed by over 200 A-Z entries which cover:
- key concepts such as abduction, code, grapheme, modelling, philology and syntax
- key individuals: Bakhtin, Chomsky, Peirce, Saussure, Sebeok and others
- key theories and schools, including American structuralism, pragmatism and the Prague School
The Routledge Companion to Semiotics and Linguistics opens up the world of semiotics and linguistics for newcomers to the discipline, and provides a useful ready-reference for the more advanced student.
