Description

Explore the complex world of semiotics and linguistics with A. J. Greimas and the Nature of Meaning. Published by Routledge, this text provides a clear look at the work of Professor Greimas, placing his theories within their proper intellectual context. Originally published in 1987, this volume helps readers understand the development of his unique style of interpretation. Professor Schleifer examines Greimas' work alongside modern examinations of discourse found in philosophy, depth psychology, and literary criticism. The book provides a direct comparison between the Greimas semiotic square and major theoretical frameworks, including Derridean deconstruction, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and the literary analyses of Paul de Man. This book serves as a lucid survey of a critic who is often seen as inaccessible. It is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in the history and criticism of poetry, drama, and literary theory. Whether you are studying linguistics or discourse theory, this text offers a structured way to engage with foundational semiotic concepts.
