American Journal of Semiotics

Aims & Scope

The American Journal of Semiotics is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research publication sponsored by the Semiotic Society of America.

It publishes original contributions in the form of topical articles, response articles, and critical reviews on any subject related to the science of signs and meaning, whether theoretical, methodological, or applied.

Open to all semiotic traditions, the journal expects submissions to make advances in fundamental sign theory, or to leverage semiotic methodologies for rigorous interpretive exploration of communication processes throughout the semiotic sphere, whether physical, logical, biological, physiological, ecological, phenomenological, psychological, anthropological, sociological, political, philosophical, theological, cosmological, or any such modes in combination.
