This Handbook introduces neurosemiotics, a pluralistic framework to reconsider semiosis as an emergent phenomenon at the interface of biology and culture.
Across individual and interpersonal settings, meaning is influenced by external and internal processes bridging phenomenological and biological dimensions.

Bringing together perspectives from world-leading experts, this volume seeks to overcome these disciplinary divides between the social and the natural sciences at both the empirical and theoretical levels.
