Abstract
Semiotics and communication are interrelated concepts. This review essay examines seventeen distinct perspectives on these concepts. They include the following: (1) detailed discussions of Charles Sanders Peirce's notion of the sign; (2) semiotics and semioethics in global communication; (3) critical and feminist approaches to signs and communication; (4) signs, communication and cultural systems; and (5) signs and artistic communication. The papers in this volume derive from a yearlong series of lectures sponsored by the Department of Linguistic Practices and Text Analysis at the University of Bari (Italy) from November 1999 to May 2000.
