Semiotics: Meaning beyond Language, 3 CP<br />
2 st. mo 10-12 GABF 04/6<strong>13</strong> Süd<br />
Language can also be studied as part of a much wider domain of enquiry: semiotics.<br />
This field investigates the structure of all possible sign systems and the role these<br />
play in the way we create and perceive patterns (or ‘meanings’) in sociocultural<br />
behavior. This course is a general introduction to some of the basic theories and<br />
models, with special emphasis on the semiotics of non-verbal communication.<br />
Students can meet the formal requirements for credit points by giving an oral<br />
presentation and completing an essay assignment (ca. 5 pages).<br />
A bibliography and reader will be provided at the beginning of the course.
