Theoretical interpretations are enriched with discussions of the plays. Technical matters such as the segmentation of the text are specified in appendices. Six semiotic dimensions have been studied: motifs, theatrical semiotic systems, their use in communicational functions, role function of the dramatis personae, their levels of awareness, and aristotelian divisions.Foundations of semiotics ;v. 19.Semiotics and literatureDramaSemiotics and literature.Drama.812/.52Kobernick Mark1532884MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781423503321Semiotics of the drama and the style of Eugene O'Neill3779415UNINA
