Meanings
nounsemiotician (plural semioticians)
plural semioticians
- One who studies semiotics or semantics
The big difference between the average biblical scholar and a semiotician is, that the latter is not a consumer of texts, but tries to become, together with the text, a co-producer of meaning.
1990, Jan Holman, “A Semiotic Analysis of Psalm CXXXVIII (LXX)”, in In Quest of the Past: Studies on Israelite Religion, Literature and Prophetism, page 87
