Translation and Semiotics: Translating the Symbol in the Method of Umberto Eco

All aspects of human daily practice constitute a subject of semiotics, whether expressed by linguistic or non-linguistic signs. All forms of human communication are originally a work of signs bearing indictations that tell us about a situation or about a certain experience or about culture, and reveal to us one's identity. The aproach of the Italian translator and theorist Umberto Eco, which is based on semiotic analystic, raises many theoretical issues that concern the field of translation as essence, content and context.
