The book outlines a new approach to motivation in language. The approach proposes a cognitive theory of the linguistic sign, partly in opposition to classical Saussurean linguistics. The new theory is inspired and informed by Charles S. Peirce's semiotics, especially the distinction between the icon, the index, and the symbol.
