In the light of semiotic, linguistic and literary theory the studies gathered here investigate how iconicity works on all levels of language, in literary texts and other forms of verbal discourse. They investigate, among other subjects, the semiotic foundations of iconicity, the role played by iconicity in language evolution and in the way words are positioned syntactically. Special consideration is given to the iconic nature of metaphor and the 'mise en abyme', to iconically motivated punctuation and other typographic matters such as the manipulation of colour, fonts and spacing in advertising and in poetry. Other studies show how iconicity influences Shakespeare's rhetoric, the structural design of Margaret Atwood's writings and the changing fashions in fictional landscape description. Thus, these analyses of 'the motivated sign' represent yet another strong challenge to "Saussure's dogma of arbitrariness" (Jakobson). 606 $aIconicity (Linguistics) 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aLinguistics 615 0$aIconicity (Linguistics) 615 0$aSemiotics. 615 0$aLinguistics. 676 $a401/.41 686 $aER 740$2rvk 701 $aFischer$b Olga$0164714 701 $aNa?nny$b Max$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972656203321 996 $aThe Motivated sign$94346028 997 $aUNINA
