Semiotics: The Basics de Daniel Chandler

Semiotics: The Basics: The Basics

Autor Daniel Chandler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 aug 2025
This fifth edition of the bestselling textbook is a major new revision, continuing to provide a concise introduction to the key concepts of semiotics in accessible and jargon-free language.
Demystifying what is a complex, highly interdisciplinary field, key questions covered include: What are signs and codes? What can semiotics teach us about representation and reality? What tools does it offer for analysing texts and cultural practices? Semiotics: The Basics focuses on its application to communication and cultural studies. The latest edition features a greatly extended treatment of core concepts, in particular traditional historical models of the sign, the semiotic triangle, and distinctions between ‘natural’ and conventional signs. There is also a greater emphasis on ‘the social life of signs’.
With an extensive index, a comprehensive glossary, suggestions for review and for further reading, and a list of online resources, this must-have guide is both the ideal introductory text and an essential reference for students of language, communication, media, and cultural studies at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Recenzii

Praise for the fifth edition:
 ‘The successive editions of Daniel Chandler’s Semiotics since 2002 show a depth of vision and commitment that make these clear, precise, and well-documented works a real contribution to world research.’
 Anne Hénault, Professor emerita, Sorbonne University
Praise for previous editions:                                                     
‘A very useful book, not only for those who wish to find out about semiotics, but also for those interested in finding out how language or any other sign system is far from being a neutral medium of communication.’
Juan A. Prieto-Pablos, University of Seville, Spain
 
‘The book is well written and up-to-date, without unnecessary verbosity or jargon, and yet reflects the complexity of the field and its problems.’
Journal of Pragmatics
 
‘It is no small task to present semiotics in a manner that makes it accessible to the beginning student, and Chandler achieves this, describing difficult concepts clearly and thoroughly.’
Donald J. Cunningham, Indiana University, USA
                                                               
‘This book is, at once, highly accessible, extremely interesting, encyclopedic in scope, and authoritative. Highly recommended for all courses involving semiotics and its applications to media, culture and society.’
Arthur Asa Berger, San Francisco State University, USA
                               
‘Daniel Chandler’s Semiotics is thorough, well organized, and well written. Provocative and informative, its range, depth, and erudition should make it of interest, not only to philosophers and theorists of art, language, and culture, but to anyone interested in the relation of signs to mind and reality and the relation of reality and mind to signs.’
Jeffrey Strayer, Purdue University Fort Wayne, USA
