Abstract

Abstract This article traces the presence of the concept digital semiotics in scientific literature with the aim of constituting a corpus of study that would allow to identify its goals and fields of interest. We undertook a systematic review of the term in the most important academic databases. We obtained 389 records and analyzed each of them in terms of publication date, type, content, and synthesis of contributions that develop distinct lines of investigation in digital semiotics. The results show a reduced number of first level publications that approach in detail this object of inquiry while establishing multimodal semiotics and social semiotics as the most consolidated branches. However, we found an increasing amount of gray literature that paves the way towards a deeper semiotic research tradition in the 21st century. We conclude by calling for a revision of semiotics, understood as a field of study that brings together interdisciplinary relationships and methodological solutions that interrogate the digital culture.

符号学的数字方法:系统回顾

摘要本文追溯了数字符号学概念在科学文献中的存在，目的是建立一个研究语料库，以确定其目标和兴趣领域。我们在最重要的学术数据库中对这个词进行了系统的审查。我们获得了389份记录，并从出版日期、类型、内容和贡献的综合角度对每一份记录进行了分析，这些贡献在数字符号学中形成了不同的研究方向。结果显示，在将多模态符号学和社会符号学确立为最综合的分支的同时，详细探讨这一研究对象的一级出版物数量减少。然而，我们发现越来越多的灰色文献为21世纪更深入的符号学研究传统铺平了道路。最后，我们呼吁对符号学进行修订，符号学被理解为一个将跨学科关系和质疑数字文化的方法论解决方案结合在一起的研究领域。

期刊介绍： Text & Talk (founded as TEXT in 1981) is an internationally recognized forum for interdisciplinary research in language, discourse, and communication studies, focusing, among other things, on the situational and historical nature of text/talk production; the cognitive and sociocultural processes of language practice/action; and participant-based structures of meaning negotiation and multimodal alignment. Text & Talk encourages critical debates on these and other relevant issues, spanning not only the theoretical and methodological dimensions of discourse but also their practical and socially relevant outcomes.
