Neurosemiotics is a pluralistic framework that reconsiders semiosis as an emergent phenomenon at the interface of biology and culture. It explores the influence of external and internal processes on meaning across individual and interpersonal settings, spanning phenomenological and biological dimensions. While these dyads have been segregated into discipline-specific topics, attempts to chart their intersections have been preliminary at best. This volume brings together perspectives from world-leading experts to bridge these disciplinary divides at both empirical and theoretical levels. It explores the foundations of neurosemiotics, characterizes linguistic and interpersonal dynamics shaped by neurocognitive, bodily, situational, and societal factors, and examines other daily neurosemiotic occurrences driven by faces, music, tools, and even visceral signals.

This comprehensive volume serves as a state-of-the-art resource for students and researchers interested in understanding how humans and other animals construe experience in fields such as cognitive neuroscience, biosemiotics, philosophy of mind, neuropsychology, neurolinguistics, and evolutionary biology. By integrating insights from these diverse disciplines, neurosemiotics provides a holistic understanding of the complex processes underlying human communication and cognition.
