Semiotics of natural disaster discourse in post-tsunami world: A theoretical framework
Sign Systems Studies 34 (1):231-243 (2006)
Abstract
The study of natural disaster and its discursive dimensions from a semiotic perspective can provide a theoretical frame for the scientific communication of global catastrophes. In this paper I will suggest two models; one is a semiotic model on the natural catastrophic events and the other is a hexagon model composed of semiotic dimensions of natural disaster discourse. The six main modules include narration, description, explication, visualization, prevention, and recovery action.ISBN(s)
