The aim of the course is to initiate students to Semiology/Semiotics and its application to translation. The course attempts to delineate the scope and historic course of Semiology/Semiotics. The most important semiologists are presented, as well as the basic concepts of this field, its current trends and fields of application. Moreover, the students will study the applications of Semiology in translation (semiotic systems in translation, intersemiotic translation, translation of polysemiotic texts) through the approaches of semiologists of translation.
