  • Semiosis and embodied cognition: The relevance of Peircean semiotics to cognitive neuroscience

    Open AccessEdna Andrews, Hayes Bierman et al.ARTICLESign Systems Studies2024

    Valentina Cuccio and Vittorio Gallese stimulated renewed interest in semiotic contributions to the cognitive neurosciences by bringing C. S. Peirce and his theory of signs to elucidate important notions that provide the foundation for understanding embodied cognition and its critical role in explaining both literal and figurative (abstract and concrete) concepts from phylogenetic and neurobiological perspectives. This is not surprising since Peir…

  • The importance of Lotmanian semiotics to sign theory and the cognitive neurosciences

    Open AccessEdna AndrewsARTICLESign Systems Studies2015

    The following paper is based on a presentation given as the Juri Lotman Lecture at the University of Tartu conference “Creative Continuity: 50 years of Sign Systems Studies”, on December 5th, 2014. The focus of the current analysis is to bring to light important new directions in cognitive neuroscience and cognitive neurolinguistics and how Lotman’s work contributes to deepening our understanding of the complex relationship of language(s) and bra…

  • Development and Assessment of the Effectiveness of an Undergraduate General Education Foreign Language Requirement

    Open AccessRobert J Thompson, Ingeborg Walther et al.ARTICLEForeign Language Annals2014Cited by: 2References: 11

    This article describes a faculty‐led, multiyear process of formulating learning objectives and assessing the effectiveness of a foreign language requirement for all College of Arts and Sciences undergraduates at a research university. Three interrelated research questions were addressed: (1) What were the levels and patterns of language courses completed under the language requirement compared to those under the previous curriculum? (2) To what e…

  • Language and brain: Recasting meaning in the definition of human language

    Open AccessEdna AndrewsARTICLESemiotica2011Cited by: 1References: 15

    The purpose of this paper is to articulate the central issues and controversies that currently dominate the study of the relationship between language and brain and, as a result, we will attempt to fundamentally redefine the way language is viewed by the neurosciences by recasting traditional linguistic definitions of human language. In order to achieve these goals, we will take into account (1) important aspects of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology,…

  • Semiospheric transitions: A key to modelling translation

    Open AccessEdna Andrews, Elena Maksimova et al.ARTICLESign Systems Studies2008Cited by: 1References: 1

    Lotman’s contribution to semiotic theory, anthroposemiotics, the study of artistic texts and defining the relationship between language and culture represent some of the most powerful work produced within the Tartu–Moscow School of Semiotics. The importance of translation is one of the central principles that unites all of Lotman’s work. In the following paper, we will consider Lotman’s definition of translatability in the context of (1) the defi…

  • Lotman’s communication act and semiosis

    Open AccessEdna AndrewsARTICLESemiotica1999

    Yuri Lotman a apporte une contribution importante a une theorie semiotique de l'analyse textuelle, en particulier dans ses travaux sur la semiosphere et les discontinuites des systemes culturels. L'A. examine le modele de communication propose par Lotman dans ses travaux sur le texte en tant que mecanisme generateur de sens(1990) et le compare a d'autres modeles d'actes de langage, en particulier ceux de Jakobson (1987) et Sebeok (1985)

  • Toward a Calculus of Meaning: Studies in markedness, distinctive features and deixis

    Edna Andrews, Yishai TobinBOOKTowards a Calculus of Meaning…1996

    This volume contains papers presented at a symposium in honor of Cornelis H. van Schooneveld and invited papers on the topics of invariance, markedness, distinctive feature theory and deixis. It is not a Festschrift in the usual sense of the word, but more of a collection of articles which represent a very specific way of defining and viewing language and linguistics. The specific approach presented in this volume has its origins and inspirations…

    L'A. examine quelques uns des concepts linguistiques qui sous-tendent les questions de la sensibilite culturelle et de la correction politique chez les locuteurs anglais. La question courante du parler correct, particulierement dans le domaine de la denomination, se focalise sur la maniere dont la langue doit etre utilisee en public et dans d'autres contextes socialement determines. Par exemple, il est conseille aux Anglo-americains d'utiliser wo…

  • A Synchronic Semantic Analysis of De- and Un- in American English

    Edna AndrewsARTICLEAmerican Speech1986Cited by: 2References: 1

    SEMANTIC ANALYSES OF THE ENGLISH prefixes have either tended to discuss the diachronic development of each prefix, or they have treated each morpheme as representing semantically distinct prefixes (cf. un1[reversive], un2[negative]). Unlike these earlier works, I would like to demonstrate that the two Modern English prefixes, deand un-, can each be defined in terms of an invariant, general meaning. The fundamental premise of this work is the prin…
