Catherine Tihanyi Georges Mounin, an important figure in contemporary French intellec tual life, has made significant and original contributions in semiotics, I semantics, poetics, the linguistic theory and practice of translation, and the study of the history of linguistics. He is noted as well for several dec ades of literary criticism in support of poets who were often unknown at the time. Though some of his work has been translated into German, Ital ian, and Spanish, only a few articles have been available so far in English (Mounin 1974, 1976, 1980, 1981); thus the present collection is the first full-length volume of Mounin's works to be translated into English. The contents of Semiotic Praxis reflect Mounin's life-long concern to apply semiotic theory to concrete objects. In so doing, he has attempted to demonstrate the usefulness of semiotics, to test and clarify its theoretical constructs and modify them accordingly, and to help lay down its scientific foundations and map its boundaries as a discipline.

<p>FIRST EDITION VERY GOOD BRAND NEW dust jacket hardcover, free tracking number, clean text, solid binding, NO remainders NOT ex-library, smoke free; slight gentle shelfwear / storage-wear; 3 pages and cover show tiny tiny creasing; WE SHIP FAST. Carefully packed and quickly sent. 201607248 Loin des incantations thaumaturgiques, il a paru utile d'esquisser l'image modeste et solide, et surtout claire, des principes et des méthodes de la sémiologie, entendue au sens strict de science générale de tous les systèmes de communication par signaux, signes ou symboles. Il faut se garder en effet d'appliquer mécaniquement les méthodes de la sémiologie à toutes sortes d'objets sans avoir préalablement démontré qu'on a affaire à un type de communication, et pas seulement à un ensemble de faits significatifs. On ne présente donc ici qu'un premier inventaire de ce qu'est la sémiologie de la communication. Lorsqu'elle ne se réduit pas purement et simplement à la théorie de la connaissance, la " sémiologie de la signification " s'attaque avec un outil qui n'est pas exactement fait pour cette tâche à l'étude des significations spécifiques de faits sociaux ou esthétiques. C'est sans doute par là qu'on pourra terminer la constitution de la sémiologie ; ce n'est sûrement pas par là qu'il fallait la commencer.
