Beskrivning

Interrogating the relatively new field of cognitive semiotics, this book explores shared issues in cognitive science and semiotics. Building on research from recent decades, Per Aage Brandt investigates the potential of a cognitive semiotic approach to enhance our understanding of language, thought and semiosis in general.Introducing a critical, non-standard approach both to cognitive science and to semiotics, this book discusses the understanding of meaning and mind through four major dimensions; mental architecture, mental spaces, discourse coherence and eco-organization. Encompassing a rich variety of topics and debates, Cognitive Semiotics outlines several bridges between 'continental' and 'analytic' thinking in the study of semantics, pragmatics, discourse and the philosophy of language and mind.

Recensioner i media

Working as one of the earliest and most original thinkers in cognitive semiotics, Per Aage Brandt, unfurls a brilliant tapestry of cross-disciplinary inquiry in this volume to reveal untold dynamics of the embodied poetic imagination. Brimming with insight on the truly hard problem of understanding meaning, this book is sure to inspire further research and productive debate among those who are working to integrate cognitive science with perspectives from semiotic phenomenology. Readers interested in many other domains -- from the study of songs, money, numbers, politics, and translation, to the study of consciousness, poetics, linguistics, psychology, and the history of ideas -- will also be instructed and inspired by reading this timely book.
