What is semiotics? This highly interdisciplinary term is used in
literary theory, film studies and linguistics, but what does it
mean, and how can we use it? "Key Terms in Semiotics" provides
exactly the information that a student needs when encountering
semiotics for the first time or as a more advanced reader wishing
to do in-depth semiotic readings. The book has an introduction
providing a brief historical overview of the field and an
explanation what semiotic theory actually is; definitions of key
terms in semiotics with practical examples and illustrations of
each, ranging from simple to more complex definitions; outlines of
the work of key thinkers in semiotics including Saussure,
Levi-Strauss and Merleau-Ponty; key readings for students wishing
to pursue further avenues of study in each area. Written in an
accessible and lucid style, this book is an essential resource for
anyone studying semiotics, with a background in any subject.
