Abstract:

Against the background of often esoteric literature in semiotics, this book
offers a fresh and rigorous new interpretation of how to approach the study of
communication, signs and meaning. Grounded in a deductive theory of
interacting systems, Piotr Sadowski's book provides an accessible account of
the hierarchy of communication.

Divided into two parts, this book argues in the first section that a deductive
semiotic theory generates communication situations of increasing complexity,
from contiguous communication to indirect, referential forms based on
indexical, iconic, and symbolic signs. Within this system, Sadowski explains
how key concepts of the semiotic model such as information, parainformation
and metainformation can account for degrees of cognitive complexity of
communication processes, including the perception and interpretation of signs
on literal and figurative levels. After this clear, step-by-step exposition of
the theory of interacting systems, "Systemic Semiotics" then explores various
applications of this theory, providing new insights into problems subsumed
under communication studies, cultural theory, literary and film studies, and
psychology.
