Roy Harris is Emeritus Professor of General Linguistics at Oxford University and is the author of numerous publications, including The Language-Makers, The Language Myth, The Language Machine and The Origin of Writing.
' ... this is a stimulating book which clearly advances the study
of semiotics generally and should achieve a wide readership.' -
Journal of Literary Semantics, 1998
'By giving us the beginnings of a general semiotic theory of
writing that encomasses far more than speech or language alone, Roy
Harris makes a contribution to our understanding how language
functions in the pervasive multimedia contexts of modern life.
Signs of Writing is also nearly unique as a modern examination of
these issues. Take a look.' - Functions of Language
