Learning outcomes
|
The course deals with the basic concepts of contemporary semiotics. Thus it is not a systematic theory of historical interpretation of the history and character of the signs as an independent scientific discipline, but the objective is to prepare students for understanding the process of semiosis in its complexity, with consideration to the functional unity of different types of semiotic behavior.
