Overview

This new edition of a book on translation from a semiotic standpoint celebrates ten years of Semiosic Translation, a theory of translation and translating that encompasses the dynamic process of transforming signs across diverse semiotic systems, transcending conventional linguistic translation to embrace comprehensive cross-modal semiotic interactions. The present book should be read as a compilation of past erros and new theoretical paths that, considered as a whole, illuminate the interconnected, fluid nature of sign exchange, challenging traditional theoretical constraints such as Jakobson's trichotomy or rigid Peircean classifications. By recognizing multiple forms of semiosis-human, animal, and computational, Semiosic Translation reframes translation as a fundamental dimension of semiotic processes rather than a specialized human linguistic capability. As a result, the theory acknowledges translation as occurring within broader ecological contexts where meaning emerges through complex interactions between varied sign systems, emphasizing translation as an evolving, boundary-crossing phenomenon rather than a static transfer between discrete domains.

Author Information

Sergio Torres-Martíiacute;nez is professor of cognitive linguistics, semiotics and translation semiotics. Among his main interests are Agentive Cognitive Construction Grammar, Cognitive Semantics, embodiment theory, phenomenology, Wittgenstein's philosophy of language, Peircean semiotics and the cognitive applications of construction grammar (Applied Cognitive Construction Grammar). Current research projects include the conceptualization of construction grammar as an interdisciplinary field of endeavor connecting embodiment theory, neuroscience semiotics and philosophy for the construction of a comprehensive and systematic description of constructional attachment patterns across languages. Central to this research is the need to provide linguistics with a model of the mind that complements linguistic description.
