Signs, Meaning and Experience: Integrational Approaches to Linguistics and Semiotics (Semiotics, Communication and Cognition [SCC], 15)

Integrationism offers a radically contextual approach to the sign and represents a direct challenge to academic linguistics. This book sets out for the general reader its key claims and insights and explores criticisms offered of its approach, as well as the paradoxes that arise from its attack on the notion of linguistic expertise. For the first time integrationism is subjected to an extended contrastive analysis with semiotics.
