A Theory of Computer Semiotics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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
