GOING FURTHER<br />

There are several useful works of general reference on <strong>semiotics</strong>:<br />

Nöth 1990, Colapietro 1993, Sebeok 1994b, Bouissac 1998, Danesi<br />

2000, Martin and Ringham 2000 and Cobley 2001. Any serious<br />

student should consult the work of the foundational theorists,<br />

Saussure and Peirce, since they are frequently misrepresented in<br />

popular texts. There are two English translations of Saussure – that<br />

by Wade Baskin dating from 1959 (Saussure 1974) and a later British<br />

translation by Roy Harris (Saussure 1983). Watch out for Harris’s<br />

quirky substitution of ‘signal’ and ‘signification’ for what are still<br />

invariably known as the signifier and the signified. Peirce’s writings<br />

are voluminous and the references to <strong>semiotics</strong> are scattered. There<br />

is an eight-volume edition (Peirce 1931–58) which may be available<br />

in libraries, the most useful volume perhaps being volume two.<br />

A searchable but expensive CD-ROM version is available from<br />

InteLex. A chronological edition has reached its sixth volume so far<br />

(Peirce 1982–93). Useful selections are also available (e.g. Peirce<br />

1966, 1998).
