The article reflects on a research project analysing 300 years of the practice ofconstraining feminine torso, aiming at presenting theories supporting investigationto expose how their intersection and articulation could become method for fashionobjects. Stemming from semiotics works concerned with plastic objects, mainlythe proposed by Greimas further developed Floch Oliveira, we present anaddr...

The use of semiotics has been proposed in studying the ways in which information is mediated in computer systems, particularly in user interfaces. Goguen's algebraic semiotics provides a formal tool for studying the systematic use of signs in computer systems, and for presenting formal comparisons of diierent interface designs. The formal elements of algebraic semiotics make it a kind of algebr...

The constructionist social semiotics that we propose in this paper understands action from the perspective of communicative syntax, based on concept an interpretive adrift takes place at interface between emiter and receiver depending semantic context which various constructs are formed modified.
 In paper, will show origins can be found neurolinguistic programming - namely identifying sen...

The article examines bandit myths from a socio-historical perspective, as part of the socio-cultural reality present-day Egypt. It engages in semiotics banditry encouraged by Stephanie Cronin taking first step towards social analysis Rayyā and Sakīna, two Egyptian female criminals par excellence, arrested 1920 executed 1921. I will argue that Sakīna's criminal myth is currently being resignifie...

Etymology: from the Greek word "semeion" ("sign") Semiotics is a field of research that studies signs as an essential part of cultural life and communication. According to semiotics, we can only know culture (and reality itself) by means of signs, in other words, through the processes of signification. Semiotics has two founders: the Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure (died 1913) and the Amer...

The first lecture will present pictorial semiotics within the framework of general semiotic theory. It will construe semiotics as a particular point of view taken on everything which is human or, more generally, endowed with life, rather than simply the continuation of the mixed or separate doctrines due to Saussure and Peirce. The historical part will describe briefly the development of pictor...

In the following, elementary constituents of models in computational semiotics are outlined. This is done by referring to computer simulations as a framework which neither aims to describe artificial sign systems (as done in computer semiotics), nor to realize semiotic functions in “artificial worlds” (as proposed in “artificial semiosis”). Rather, the framework referred to focuses on precondit...

In this article the focus is on methodology for analysing learner-learner oral conversations mediated by computers. With the increasing availability of synchronous voice-based groupware and the additional facilities offered by audio-graphic tools, language learners have opportunities for collaborating on oral tasks, supported by visual and textual stimuli via computer-conferencing. Used synchro...
