Introduction. On Semiotics of Economic Discourse

language: english

abstract: This special issue of Ocula on economic discourse we would like to be a first and pioneering work on semiotic studies and analysis of economy. Our aims are to fill a gap in semiotic literature, to carry out a reconnaissance on this field and to collect semiotic contributions opening to some ways of semiotic investigations on economy. There is not currently a systematic and specific work on economic discourse in the semiotic literature. We think that the economic discourse is a special field for the semiotic interdisciplinarity analysing historical and specially present economic conditions.
