  Using jargon-free language and lively, up-to-date examples, Semiotics: The Basics demystifies this highly interdisciplinary subject. Along the way, the reader will find out:
  * what is a sign?
  * which codes do we take for granted?
  * what is a text?
  * how can semiotics be used in textual analysis?
  * who were Saussure, Peirce, Barthes and Jakobson - and why are they important?
  Features include a glossary of key terms and realistic suggestions for further reading. There is also a highly-developed and long-established online version of the book at: www.aber.ac.uk/media/Documents/S4B
