Review
"...it will introduce you to a new way of thinking about programs and how people use them." Vivienne S. Begg, Computer
"Because it systematically develops how semiotics can be applied to the study of human-computer interactions, HCI researchers will find the book stimulating, even if their own approach is different. Finally, systems builders who are languishing for lack of a methodology could do worse than to review Andersen's approach." H. Van Dyke Parunak, Computing Reviews
"The book is a bold enterprise. It is an interesting and sometimes fascinating stab at a statement of a theory that is needed." Robin Fawcett, Computational Linguistics
"Andersen not only provides semiotic means of evaluation, he also presents a further development of the two concepts, which may open interesting perspectives not only for computer scientists but also for semioticians. His typology of speech acts, in particular, introduces a new approach that could prove useful to speech-act theorists." Bernhard Debatin, Semiotic Review of Books
"This book is a refreshing one: it aims to explore computer systems within the paradigm of semiotics instead of within the more restricted purview of logic or linguistics and manages to open new conceptual horizons." Jean Guy Meunier, Semiotica
Book Description
This 1991 book, which is based on a course taught by the author and developed from 10 years' research, introduces basic traditional semiotic concepts and adapts them so that they become useful for analysing and designing computer systems and their interfaces.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book introduces basic traditional semiotic concepts and adapts them so that they become useful for analyzing and designing computer systems in their symbolic context of work. It presents a novel approach to the subject, rich in examples, and is theoretically systematic but practical. The author refers to and reinterprets techniques already used, so that readers can deepen their understanding. In addition, it offers new techniques and a consistent perspective on computer systems that is particularly appropriate for new hardware and software whose main functions are presentation and communication. This book will benefit all involved in the development of systems in which meaning and interpretation are vital. This book is a systematic development of the thesis that semiotics, 'the science of signs and their life in society; provides a useful methodological framework for studying systems that include both people and computers.The work's major contribution may be that it exposes computer scientists to the rich structuralist and semiotic heritage. This extraordinarily fertile set of ideas has had considerable impact in linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and philosophy, and will bring much to the study of human-machine interfaces.' -Computing Reviews Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
