semiotics for beginners

Well, I promised you a short introduction to semiology.

Make that a not so short introduction to semiotics, and it is hereby delivered on a silver plate.

Daniel Chandler, at Aberystwyth University in Wales, UK, already did it. Much, much better that I would ever be able to do. No doubt about that.

So, let me introduce you to Daniel’s Fantastic Universe.

The good thing is that Daniel has written a web book called “Semiotics for Beginners”, it is right there for you to grab.

He has also written an extended soft cover version called “Semiotics. The Basics”. I got one from the 2nd edition just a week ago. It’s a great book, which will make me much wiser in no time :) And you, if you’re in for it?

If you got time and energy, this is where you want to start your introduction to semiotics and semiology. 300 plus pages. The expertise that you will acquire reading and learning this book, will take you fare beyond being a beginner.

Thanks, Daniel :)
