Semiotics for Beginners
I stumbled upon this site last night called "Semiotics for Beginners" by Daniel Chandler of Aberystwyth University (Wales, UK) and read through a good chunk of his treatment of signs as developed by structuralist linguist Ferdinand de Saussure. Good stuff. It's perfect for getting an overview of the important theorists and developments in cultural theory. . . . Just sharing.

He's also published a print version with most of the same material. Check out Semiotics: The Basics (2d ed.; London/New York: Routledge, 2007). We read through this text in my seminar on interpreting material culture, at the U of Alberta.
Yeah, I saw that he had a book for sale but I didn't click on the link. Thanks for the biblio info. UAlberta, eh? With whom did you take the course?
