Summary/Abstract: The last half-century or so has witnessed an increasing interest in semiotic inquiry, with a concomitant scholarly production around the world of books, journals, and articles devoted to the endless facets of the subject. The image of astronomy in 1611 conveyed by John Donne has been suggested as the image of the modern semiotic universe: “Tis all in pieces, all coherence gone; / All just supply, and all Relation”.
