Thomas a. Sebeok's doctrine of signs

Eugen Baer

pp. 181-210

This being a very personal reckoning, I would like to seize this occasion to publicly avow my good fortune at having first encountered semiotic notions in a University of Chicago seminar of Morris’ in the early 1940s—precisely midway, that is, between his Foundations of the Theory of Signs (1938) and Signs, Language, and Behavior (1946). 1 have thus had the singular, and very likely unique, privilege of having studied both with Morris and, not long afterwards, Jakobson, the two having cross-pollinated in the intervening years. (Sebeok, 1976: 155)
