Summary: Edusemiotics is a pioneering area of study that connects semiotics the science of signs with educational theory and the philosophy of education. This volume reflects cutting-edge research by scholars in education and in semiotics worldwide, bridging the two discourses to present the state of the art in this new transdisciplinary field.

It presents edusemiotics as a novel unified conceptual framework
