Semiotics sources

Hello all,


A quick question for the hive mind: what core text would you recommend for a second-year undergraduate course on semiotics?

Best,

Jeff Heydon

Re: Semiotics sources

The Daniel Chandler book is a useful option because there's also a version of it available online:

Re: Semiotics sources

After reviewing many books that were difficult, I have used the following two books:

The Quest for Meaning: A Guide to Semiotic Theory and Practice (Toronto Studies in Semiotics and Communication) by Marcel Danesi (Jun 30, 2007)

Of Cigarettes, High Heels, and Other Interesting Things, Second Edition: An Introduction to Semiotics (Semaphores and Signs) [Paperback] Marcel Danesi
