Redefining ‘Sign’/‘Symbol’ and Semiotics
Both ‘sign’ and ‘symbol’ are words with a long and polysemic history in Western culture. Moreover, the 120-year history of the modern semiotics movement has failed to provide a highly needed definition of these most basic terms, thus resulting in ambiguity of the definition of the discipline itself. This paper proposes defining ‘sign/symbol’ as ‘a sensuous entity to be regarded as carrying meaning’. Furthermore, the terminological chaos that aris…
Narratorial frame–person duality
There can be no narrative text without a narrator. Locating the source of narration is the starting point for an understanding of any narrative. There is no agreement among narratologists, nevertheless, on how the narrator could be located in a narrative text, in a so-called “third-person” fictional narrative, for instance, or in dramatic or cinematic narratives. The narrator should be ubiquitous in theory, yet is extremely elusive in practice. T…

Peirce’s semiotic phenomenology puts forward a view of truth th…

In the last two decades, however, semiotics has been enjoying an impressive rapid flourishing in China, mostly because of the drastic (post-)modernization of Chinese culture. This paper describes the …
