About a century later, a science has emerged that is very much in the spirit of that envisioned by de Saussure. Researchers who are developing this science, which has been labeled Experimental Semiotics, conduct controlled studies in which human adults develop novel communication systems or impose novel structure on systems provided to them. This volume offers a primer to Experimental Semiotics and presents a set of studies conducted within this new discipline.Benjamins Current TopicsSemioticsCommunication modelsInterpersonal communicationNonverbal communicationSemiotics.Communication models.Interpersonal communication.Nonverbal communication.302.2/2Galantucci Bruno1536304Garrod S.
