Abstract:

Can semiotics and computers be compatible? Can computation advance semiotics
by enhancing the scientific basis of the theory of signs?

Coupling semiotics, a philosophical and phenomenological tradition concerned
with theories of signs, with computation, a formal discipline, may seem
controversial and paradoxical. "Computational Semiotics" tackles these
controversies head-on and attempts to bridge this gap. Showing how semiotics
can build the same type of conceptual, formal, and computational models as
other scientific projects, this book opens up a rich domain of inquiry toward
the formal understanding of semiotic artifacts and processes. Examining how
pairing semiotics with computation can bring more methodological rigor and
logical consistency to the epistemic quest for the forms and functions of
meaning, without compromising the important interpretive dynamics of
semiotics, this book offers a new cutting-edge, model-driven theory to the
field.
