Reviews

<p> Tarasti's explanations, analyses and comments of sign processes in artand everyday lifemight seem amazing at first sight. He is not afraid of heavilyspeculative and heavily metaphysical thinking.... [he] wants to show us that therecan be more involved in sign processes than pure conventionality, maybe evensomething that is beyond the grasp of the Semiotician. -- KODIKAS, 342004
