«Semiotica e filosofia del linguaggio» is Umberto Eco's essay, published by Einaudi in paperback (318 pages, in Italian).
In this essay, Umberto Eco examines the relationship between semiotics and the philosophy of language. He analyses how signs, processes of signification and the structure of language condition our understanding of the world and of human thought, and surveys the theoretical foundations of the discipline to explain its capacity to represent reality.
Work originally published in 1984; belongs to the Einaudi Paperbacks collection (no. 151).
For students and scholars of semiotics, philosophy of language and literary theory interested in the foundations of the discipline.
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
