Abstract:

Among the various sub-disciplines of semiotics, the semiotics of space has remained rather neglected, despite the much greater attention paid to the relationship between man and space in other disciplines such as sociology, psychology, economics and geography. Similarly, semiotic syntax and, within it, the sign-formations have received very little attention in relation to their importance. This paper deals with key concepts that are widely applicable in both fields. The author draws on these concepts to define the notion of sign-space and lay the foundations for sign-space analysis. Humans construct fictitious sign-spaces in addition to real sign-spaces, and the knowledge of sign-spaces supports the formation and consolidation of sign-space as a pattern of cognition and thinking. A particularly important application of sign-space theory is the semiotic support of educational processes, since consciously constructed educational sign-spaces make teaching and learning more effective and interesting.

Keywords: signal space, signal patterns, cognitive patterns, syntactic feature definitions, multiple reference

Our profile

Partitúra is a Hungarian literary journal published in Slovakia twice a year. The first edition was issued in 2006. From 2007 to 2014 its publishers were the Faculty of Central European Studies at The Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra in cooperation with Sambucus Literary Society. Since 2014 the Faculty of Central European Studies at the CPU in Nitra became the sole publisher.

The journal releases peer-reviewed scientific articles, literary studies and art reviews of both Hungarian as well as world literature. It is also a forum for essays on several other arts and intercultural relations. Furthermore, special attention is devoted to the Central European literature and literary studies; the magazine not only publishes the reviews of such studies, but also provides the arena for reflections about them. The journal aims to give an account of the contemporary Hungarian literature of the Hungarian minorities as well as to serve as a cluster for discourses.

As for the structure of the paper, it is usually divided into three main sections. The first part generally deals with the translation of an important foreign abstract literary study. It is followed by the heading of Scientific Studies and the Columns of Critical Analysis. Partitúra regularly publishes thematic abstracts by authors, genres, as well as a literary and artistic phenomenon in focus.
