السيميائيات الحديثة : الأصول و الامتدادات

Abstract EN

This study comes out of the difficulty of modern semiotics and its continuous development, and the Arab reader's need for a simplified frame of it.

This study tries to bridge this gap, as it provides an epistemological framework of modern semiotics, focusing on its definition, subject matter, and its need for an Arab foundational discourse, its origins and historical legacy, the cognitive rupture it brought about, its origin and stages of development, the difference between its various stages, and the difference between general semiotics, special semiotics and applied semiotics.

The study presented the relationship of modern semiotics to some neighboring fields such as linguistics, discourse analysis, and new rhetoric.

It presented ten different trends in modern semiotics.
