This volume addresses five different Dimensions of Iconicity. While some contributions examine the phonic dimensions of iconicity that are based on empirical, diachronic and theoretical work, others explore the function of similarity from a cognitive point of view.

Over the past decades, the field of sign language linguistics has expanded considerably. Recent research on sign languages includes a wide range of subdomains such as reference grammars, theoretical linguistics, psycho- and neurolinguistics, sociolinguistics, and applied studies on sign languages and Deaf communities. The SLDC series is concerned with the study of sign languages in a comprehensive way, covering various theoretical, experimental, and applied dimensions of sign language research and their relationship to Deaf communities around the world. The series provides a multidisciplinary platform for innovative and outstanding research in sign language linguistics and aims at linking the study of sign languages to current trends in modern linguistics, such as new experimental and theoretical investigations, the importance of language endangerment, the impact of technological developments on data collection and Deaf education, and the broadening geographical scope of typological sign language studies, especially in terms of research on non-Western sign languages and Deaf communities.

Fra gli anni Sessanta e Novanta la semiotica fu a più riprese attraversata dal cosiddetto “dibattito sull’iconismo”, in cui si contrapponevano coloro che sostenevano che i segni iconici (come ad esempio disegni, dipinti, fotografie) fossero “naturali” o, meglio, motivati dall’oggetto che rappresentavano e coloro che invece affermavano che fossero arbitrari o convenzionali, come i segni del linguaggio verbale. Questolibro ricostruisce le linee fondamentali di questo dibattito e, in particolare, le posizioni espresse da Umberto Eco (uno dei suoi principali protagonisti) nell’arco di trent’anni di riflessione. Nella parte finale si propongono alcune modifiche e integrazioni alla teoria di Eco sul riconoscimento e sulla semiosi percettiva.
