Current studies in linguistic semiotics: issues and trends
https://doi.org/10.30515/0131-6141-2024-85-3-74-83
Abstract
The article presents a systematic review of modern English-language scientific literature on linguistic semiotics. The study aims to identify the current research trends in this subfield of semiotics, as well as the leading methodological approaches and development prospects of this research area. The publications included in the sample were obtained from peer-reviewed journals indexed in the Scopus scientometric database. The search query depth equalled five years. The publications included in the sample were analysed considering the following parameters: range of issues, research agenda, methodology, empirical basis, and research methods. The results of the analytical review enable one to consider the semiotics of communication as the dominant area of modern linguistic-semiotic research and outline the prospects in the field of studying multimodal communicative practices. The development of a methodology for performing a systematic review in the field of linguistics will contribute to the development of linguistic research methodology in general and the improvement of research protocols in particular.
