Synopsis
In Signs, Language and Communication readers familiar with the arguments of Professor Harris' previous work, including Signs of Writing, will find those ideas developed here to cover not just writing, but aspects of art, design and manufacture.
Roy Harris proposes a new theory of communication. He begins with the premise that the mental life of an individual should be conceived as a continuous attempt to integrate the present with the past and future. He concludes by arguing that communication should be viewed as both a product and a resource of this constant act of integration.

Synopsis
Banishing introspection, Harris brings a fresh and unprejudiced eye to the study of communication. In this challenging and important book he proposes an explanatory account of communication which accords with our lay understanding of human existence. He begins with the premise that the mental life of an individual should be conceived as a continuous attempt to integrate the present with the past and future. He concludes by arguing that communication should be viewed as both a product and a resource of this constant act of integration. At the heart of Harris' argument lie questions concerning human creativity and responsiblity. Against most modern theorists of communication, Harris argues that semiological knowledge and knowledge of the world are not two segregated domains. Rather their separation distorts our analyses of human communication. Readers familiar with the arguments of Professor Harris' previous work, including Signs of Writing , will find those ideas developed here to cover not just writing, but aspects of art, design and manufacture.
