They share two fundamental assumptions with regard to meaning: that there exist ultimate qualities of things and states of affairs in the extrasemiotic world and that the meanings of words or other types of sign are derivatives of these essentials. A pioneering work that remains extraordinarily accessible, Parallels, Interactions, and Illuminations explores a wide range of issues, including inter-subjective negotiation of meaning, the relationship between metaphor and culture, and the production and dissemination of myths. 410 0$aToronto studies in semiotics and communication. 606 $aSemiotics$xPhilosophy 606 $aSemiotics$zChina 606 $aSemiotics$zEurope, Western 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSemiotics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSemiotics 615 0$aSemiotics 676 $a302.201 700 $aDing$b Ersu$0985895 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457259903321 996 $aParallels, interactions, and illuminations$92253430 997 $aUNINA
