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.
