Aims & Scope

The journal Language and Semiotic Studies focuses on the theoretical exploration of semiotics, and the integration of language and semiotics. For theoretical semiotics, we publish research papers that reflect the latest development concerning classical semiotic topics and issues, and brand-new semiotic-theoretical insights. And for the integration of language and semiotics, we publish papers that focus on language and how language is interpreted in terms of sign signification in the fields of linguistics, literature, translation, culture, and society.
