Innis The 33 sections of this classic text by Hoffbauer have a twofold focus: a descriptive inventory of signs, and a comparison of the expressive and cognitive powers of different sign systems. Using his sign typology as a point of departure, Hoffbauer inquires into the elements of matter and form both necessary and adequate to arrive at a definition of the sign. His purpose in doing so is to present his own versi 410 0$aFoundations of semiotics ;$vv. 4. 606 $aSemiotics$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aSemiotics 676 $a302.2 700 $aHoffbauer$b Johann Christoph$f1766-1827.$0220468 701 $aInnis$b Robert E$047929 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962256103321 996 $aSemiological investigations, or, Topics pertaining to the general theory of signs$94374165 997 $aUNINA
