I found this to be fascinating. Some of it is a little rough to wade through but I found the explanations good and examples helpful. Now to see if I can make it through another book on semiotics in the not too distant future. There are a number of books on film and semiotics and I am particularly interested in those. Hm, must find some on music also. ( ) A very accessible if somewhat dry introduction to semiotics suitable for a first or second year undergraduate class. Chandler's book starts with the notion of a linguistic sign as characterized by Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce and then shows how various thinkers have extended this notion into diverse areas such as literary analysis, film, and anthropology. The book becomes less interesting as it goes along, because the further the sign metaphor gets away from its linguistic origins the more strained it feels until—in the words of Paddy Whannel, who the book helpfully quotes—it seems that "semiotics tell us things we already know in a language we will never understand." If this is the case, however, the blame lies with the field as a whole and not with Chandler, who does a good job of putting things into a language we can understand.

"This fourth edition of the bestselling textbook, now available in print, eBook, and audiobook, has been fully updated, continuing to provide a concise introduction to the key concepts of semiotics in accessible and jargon-free language. Demystifying what is a complex, highly interdisciplinary field, key questions covered include: what are signs and codes? What can semiotics teach us about representation and reality? What tools does it offer for analysing texts and cultural practices? The fourth edition of Semiotics: The Basics focuses in particular on its application to communication and cultural studies. It has been extensively revised and extended, with an entirely new section on cognitive semiotics, many more illustrations, and a new glossary. With updates to theory, further examples, and suggestions for review and further reading, this must-have resource is both the ideal introductory text and an essential reference guide for students at all levels of language and communication, media, and cultural studies."--Provided by publisher.
