Contemporary Perspectives on Semiotics in Education: Signs, Meanings and Multimodality

This book series focuses on how semiotic resources convey, build, and foster meaning making in context. Such work is often predicated upon views of human meaning-making as social choices developing across time, rather than structural forms handed down from one generation to the next. Similar to the broader field of semiotics, sign-making and meaning-making are central in social perspectives and include the theoretical perspectives as well as analytic tools necessary to explicate meaning across communicative events. Social semiotics approaches explore the ways in which communicative norms are evolving and emergent due to social, cultural, and historical influences.
