Conventionally, semiotics is the study of signs, and a sign is something that stands for something else. This volume offers a unified foundation for semiotics understood as a comparative perspective of the artifacts of mental life.;The author establishes a sub-study of comparative articulation which builds on the work of Hjelmslev, Martinet, Goodman, and Troubetskoy. His concept of the "elaborated sign" aims to allow a reconciliation of structural and pragmatistic insights, in which the observation that structure and reference may develop anithetically is a key principle. The concluding demonstrations offer parallel analyses of Chagall and Beethoven, showing that hierarchies of content can be compared across media.
