Cognitive semiotics is the trans-disciplinary study of language, communication, media and mind, from the perspective of the concepts meaning and sense. In cognitive semiotics, both qualitative phenomenological analysis and empirical methods, including systematic observations and experimentation, are developed and used. The principal aim is to produce new insights into the interrelations between different communicative/semiotic resources such as language, gestures and pictures, and into their development in children and in human evolution.
