Title: MIMESIS AS A SIGNALIC ACTIVITY.
Authors: ROSE, PHIL
Source: ETC: A Review of General Semantics. Jul2025, Vol. 82 Issue 3, p197-213. 17p.
Subjects: General semantics, Symbolic communication, Symbolism, Language & languages, Epistemics
Abstract: The article explores mimesis as a foundational "signalic" form of communication that predates symbolic language, arguing that general semantics and media ecology must account for pre-linguistic environments to fully understand human communication. Topics include pre-symbolic evolution, mimetic and presentational symbolism, and the transition from signalic to symbolic communication.
