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. 410 0$aBenjamins Current Topics 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aCommunication models 606 $aInterpersonal communication 606 $aNonverbal communication 615 0$aSemiotics. 615 0$aCommunication models. 615 0$aInterpersonal communication. 615 0$aNonverbal communication. 676 $a302.2/2 701 $aGalantucci$b Bruno$01536304 701 $aGarrod$b S.
