Main themes This course prolongs and gives a deeper understanding of the course on General Semiotic COMU1121. It is situated within the framework of a socio-discursive interactionism taking into account the interactions between the systems and semiotic devices in social interactions and process of socialization and organization. In this perspective, the course comes back to various dimensions of mediatized communication updated by the linguistic theories and semiotics to give a deeper understanding ot these theories and widen them to analogical signs in a broad sense (images, gestures, voice).
Aims At the term of this course, the student must have acquired: - A strong critical knowledge of the main concepts from semio-pragmatic theories and from various components (linguistic, iconic) communication devices; - The capacity to apply these concepts to the analysis of the real communication devices to estimate or formulate hypothesis on their action from the point of view of social interaction and cognition.
Evaluation methods

The assessment is about the theoretical mastery of the concepts and the capacity at a time to apply them to the analysis of a concrete message. This assessmentis in two parts: a noted analysis exercise conducted during the semester (5 points out of 20) and a written exam (15 points on 20).
