Explore the profound semiotics of ‘X’ and its deep connection to human cognition. Jamin Pelkey’s seminal work argues that the ubiquitous ‘X’ pattern, rooted in body memory and chiasmus, fundamentally shapes our understanding of culture and thought. Blending insights from linguistics, anthropology, and cognitive science, this book reveals how these forms drive complex human abilities like analogy and conceptual integration. Essential reading for academics and students of semiotics, cognitive linguistics, and anyone fascinated by the philosophy of thinking. Discover how chiasmus might redefine our perception of thought for the 21st century.
