Neurolinguistic Programming - a Form of Social Semiotics

Semiotics of Programming

This book provides a semiotic analysis of computer programs along three axes: models of signs, kinds of signs, and systems of signs. Since computer programs are well defined and rigid, applying semiotic theories to them will help to reorganize the semiotic theories themselves. Moreover, semiotic discussion of programming theory can provide possible explanations for why programming has developed...

Introducing Social Semiotics

Form and Format: Towards a Semiotics of Digital Text Encoding

Theories of the sign T his consideration begins in the theories of signification proposed in Structuralism, particularly as elucidated by Ferdinand de Saussure and interpreted by Roland Barthes (drawing on Hjelmslev and others). It will further be informed by the general theory of “autopoiesis” as articulated byMaturana and Varela (1987) and by other recent studies of language and signification...

Programming Interactivity Requires Both Semantics and Semiotics

Introduction. Programming languages are generally designed around models of computation, classes of programs, or populations of programmers. Considering interactive applications (e.g. games and single-page Web applications), we argue that programming language research could be usefully oriented around the end-user’s experience of interacting with the system. Operational logics, a theoretical fr...

Teaching learners to use mirroring: rapport lessons from neurolinguistic programming.

(Fam Med 2004;36(8):541-3.) Editor’s Note: Teaching communication skills to learners is an important responsibility of office-based teachers. In this month’s column, John F. Clabby, PhD, and Robert O’Connor, MD, of UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School describe how to teach mirroring techniques, which learners can easily use to build rapport with patients. I welcome your comments about this ...
