Chinese Semiotic Studies

期刊简介：Chinese Semiotic Studies (CSS) aims to advance the global dialogue on semiotics—broadly understood as the scientific and intellectual inquiry (à la C.S. Peirce) into meaning-making—by bridging Eastern and Western traditions in sign theory and cultural studies. Published by De Gruyter and sponsored by the International Institute for Semiotic Studies at Nanjing Normal University and the Chinese Association for Comparative Studies of Languages and Cultures, CSS holds the distinction of being China’s first international semiotics journal published in English.The journal is dedicated to exploring the interplay—both diachronic and synchronic—between Eastern and Western semiotic phenomena and sign theories, their reciprocal influences, and their applications in contemporary research across fields such as philosophy, anthropology, biology, cognition, neuroscience, psychology, art, linguistics, and literary theory. Through its rigorous peer-reviewed publications, CSS seeks to promote interdisciplinary scholarship, inspire innovative approaches to semiotic studies, and deepen the understanding of "humans as interpretive beings" across diverse cultural and academic contexts.
