dc.description	This is not a comprehensive textbook on semiotic theory and practice. My aim is to present the basic notions of semiotics that help us probe how humans “produce meanings” and how these constitute small-scale versions of the larger-scale need to unravel the “meaning of life.” Studying the raison d’être of the latter has always been—and continues to be—the aim of philosophy, theology, and various other disciplines; studying the raison d’être of the former is the specific goal of semiotics, which can be defined simply as the “study of produced meaning.” I have left out many of the technical details of sign theory and I have not gone into any in-depth discussion of the pivotal contributions made by theorists, since these belong to a more comprehensive treatment.	en_US
