Re: VMs: Definition of Semiotics

Semiotics is the study of extraction of meaning from images.

-or-

as Dictionary.com puts it:

"The theory and study of signs and symbols, especially as elements of language or other systems of communication, and comprising semantics, syntactics, and pragmatics."

Depending on who you talk to it may or may not have fallen victim to the poisoning of postmodernism.

Hello

I have read too many clashing and far from clear definitions.

In the context of the current discussions of this discipline in this
list, could someone please be good enough to define SEMIOTICS for me,
without too much jargon, please?

Thank you

Anthony
