La semiotica, più che una disciplina unitaria, è una federazione di approcci alla teoria e all'analisi dei segni e dei testi di cui l'uomo si serve per conoscere, pensare e comunicare, al confine tra aree disciplinari con fisionomie e tradizioni più consolidate, come la linguistica, l'antropologia, la filosofia del linguaggio, ma anche la psicologia e la sociologia. Negli studi più aggiornati, in particolare, la semiotica ha consolidato la propria immagine di una teoria e insieme una metodologia di analisi dei testi, sviluppando però talvolta una concettualità e un gergo un po' ostici per i non addetti ai lavori. Questo manuale si pone l'obiettivo ambizioso di portare, gradualmente, persone prive di una preparazione specifica in ambito filosofico a comprendere e utilizzare gli strumenti teorici e critici messi a disposizione dalla semiotica per cominciare ad analizzare la comunicazione, smontarla ed eventualmente rimontarla in modo consapevole e, auspicabilmente, efficace. Il percorso formativo qui delineato presuppone alcune conoscenze di base di linguistica e muove dallo studio del significato elaborato in ambito linguistico e filosofico per le lingue, mostra come questi approcci possano essere integrati per definire cosa siano gli oggetti privilegiati dell'analisi semiotica, e approda infine all'esame, corredato da numerosi esempi, delle strutture discorsive e delle strutture narrative, seguendo in alcuni casi percorsi poco battuti.

In the course of the long debate on the nature and the classification of signs, from Boethius to Ockham, there are at least three lines of thought: the Stoic heritage, that influences Augustine, Abelard, Francis Bacon; the Aristotelian tradition, stemming from the commentaries on De Interpretatione; the discussion of the grammarians, from Priscian to the Modistae. Modern interpreters are frequently misled by the fact that the various authors regularly used the same terms. Such a homogeneous terminology, however, covers profound theoretical differences. The aim of these essays is to show that the medieval theory of signs does not represent a unique body of semiotic notions: there are diverse and frequently alternative semiotic theories. This book thus represents an attempt to encourage further research on the still unrecognized variety of the semiotic approaches offered by the medieval philosophies of language.

"In the Posterior Analytics Aristotle contrasts demonstrations with syllogisms through signs. In the Prior Analytics he defines a sign as a demonstrative premise. One is thus led to ask: is a sign a demonstration? This book reconstructs the history of the notion of "demonstration through signs" from roughly the third through to the thirteenth century. It examines the work of Aristotle's Greek, Arabic, and Latin commentators, both within and outside the tradition of the Posterior Analytics"--
