Books by Paul J. Thibault

Through a detailed re-reading of Saussure's work in the light of contemporary developments in the human, life and physical sciences, Paul Thibault provides the means to redefine and refocus our theories of social meaning-making.

Concentrating on the literary text, Thibault aims to build a unifying discourse for understanding the processes by which human meaning is formulated. He develops a detailed form of textual analysis which is sensitive to the social context of human activities based on semiotic theories.
