Cultural Semiospheres in Contact in Foreign Language Teaching
This paper probes into the many facets of Europe, through the course book ‘English for General High School 2’ and attempts to answer to questions such as, which is Europe’s identity today? How do the texts deal with the influx of illegal immigrants from the east, human rights, and the phenomenon of xenophobia? What cultural aspects of Europe are depicted in the books?

Sémiotique de la politique et systèmes non verbaux
During the Greek economic crisis, the European media engaged in a series of press articles, television reports, and press cartoons particularly critical of the behavior of the contemporary Greek and the quality of the politicians who govern him. This attitude intensified during the radical left government of the SYRIZA party from January to August 2015. In this period, the European media engaged in a semiotic devaluation, an unprecedented deconst…

Introduction
Our firm belief is that the broad notion of the text has mainly come about thanks to semiotics. this crucial move by semiotics resulted, among others, in bringing translation studies closer to semiotics. the implications of general sign studies for translation theory and practice have helped translation studies to move away from the verbocentric dogmatism of the sixties and seventies when only systems ruled by double articulation were acknowledge…
Eye-tracking the semiotic effects of layout on viewing print advertisements
The print advertisement produces meaning for its readers through the interaction of a complex system of semiotic elements. Understanding this meaning is based on readers’ ability to follow the established reading conventions of their culture. The article describes a study that uses eye-tracking technology to examine readers’ interaction with the semiotic elements of two print advertisements. The relation between print advertisements and semiotics…
Spatial composition as intersemiotic translation
In this paper I examine cases where spatial composition produces intersemiotic translations for artistic and advertising purposes in a period where globalization permits and profits by the intertextual evoking of cultural texts. Thus globalization gives us the chance to promote new messages that contribute, in their turn, to a series of cultural interpretations that enrich the forms of modern communication. Accepting one of the basic theses of Tr…
Languages in Contact, Cultures in Contact
Interlingual translation, intersemiotic translation, and mediation seem to be the main means by which students who are learning English as a foreign language in Greece connect the learning of English as a foreign language and Greek as a mother tongue. This research probes into the teaching of English in Greek state schools and more specifically the teaching of English, as a foreign language, in the first year of junior high school. The research a…

Also, subtitle characteristics and typographic practices for the transcription of subtitles into a language system w…

The paper examines a specific advertising campaign of a biotech company characteristic of the whole biotech industry and discusses how the evocation of universal values, such as the protection and correct management of the planet’s resources, the struggle against poverty and against the shortage of raw materials, the support of farmers and their families, distorts information about nature, global agriculture and the biotech industry’s products. T…
