""Perinbanayagam’s work has given us unforgettable accounts of the self as both sign and signifier. In this new work the author expands this distinct insight, combining three vital bodies of work: the pragmatism of Charles Sanders Peirce, the dialogism of Mikhail Bakhtin, and the dramatism of Kenneth Burke, creating a tool for interactionists to analyze language as a social tool employed by social actors. This is a bold and creative undertaking."" -- E. Doyle McCarthy, Fordham University
