Abstract
The third edition of the now classic and basic reference work for semiotic research, Encyclopedic Dictionary of Semiotics (published by Mouton de Gruyter), first edited by the world-renowned semiotician, Thomas A. Sebeok in 1986 and revised by him in 1994 has undergone a significant revamping by University of Toronto scholar and Editor-in-Chief of Semiotica, Marcel Danesi. Newly published in 2010, this basic research tool for semiotics remains the quintessential reference work for every scholar in this field. It would be hard to imagine that any researcher would be able to engage in meaningful scholarship without it.
