Piper, David – British Journal of Language Teaching, 1988
Discusses semiotics or sign theory as an alternative framework for understanding language, particularly in regard to teacher education. It is argued that teachers should be introduced to models of language analysis, such as semiotics, which enable them to create classroom opportunities for affirmation of individual cultural identity.
