This thematic issue of *Semiotic Review *aims to create a space for
dialogue across *continental semiotics* and *linguistic anthropology*, that
is, the semiotic traditions that emerged in post-war Europe in the wake of
structuralism and, in North America, the branch of anthropology that
emerged from the Boasian tradition of situating language in culture. These
distinct approaches to theorizing and analyzing meaning-making share common
roots (e.g., in linguistic structuralism, in the work between Jakobson,
Benveniste, and Levi-Strauss, and in European engagements with Peirce,
among other connections) and yet have largely diverged over the last half
century and have been in little to no contact since. Semiotics on both
sides of the proverbial pond are themselves internally diverse and
heterogeneous, characterized by different schools, internal debates, as
well as their own dialogues across adjacent approaches and disciplines,
from linguistics and philosophy, to cognitive science and psychology,
sociology and anthropology, literary studies and art history, among others.
This issue provides a space to further explore the points of contact
between these lively networks of semiotic thought and to open a channel of
communication between these diverse traditions, a space for conversation
and cross-fertilization. We encourage submissions that articulate concepts,
thinkers, and methods from both traditions, with the aims of fostering a
dialogue between continental semiotics and linguistic anthropology
