This dictionary provides a designation, usually abbreviated, which describes the boundaries within which a word or sense is or was used, in current OED terminology. There are five categories of labels status (obsolete, rare, colloquial), regional (indicating a geographical area of usage such as the USA),
grammitical (describing the syntactical role of the word or sense such as plural or collective),
semantic (indicating the interpretation given to a word or sense in a particular context)
A much-needed guide to the terms and models used in the semiotic approach. Over the past few decades, semiotics has increasingly gained in popularity and yet, to many, the very term remains an enigma. But, until now, there has never been a dictionary that simply expresses the terms and models. The Dictionary of Semiotics' entries are based on the theory evolved by the Paris School of semiotics founded by A.J. Greimas. This invaluable guide combines a wordbook with detailed explanation of theory and a host of practical illustrations-all accessible to students of all levels.
English grammar has changed a great deal since the beginning of the Twentieth Century, and it is a subject that can provide a complex minefield of uncertainties within the language.
