Autokommunikatsioon Peirce’i ja Lotmani vahel
Autocommunication from Peirce to Lotman

Summary/Abstract: This paper gives a brief overview of a variety of semiotic approaches to self-communication (autocommunication) in the semiotic theories of six important thinkers, ordered as a chronological chain of influence. These include: Charles S. Peirce, putting forth that a person’s thoughts are what he is saying to that other self emerging in the flow of time; George H. Mead, for whom the mechanism of talking to oneself serves the construction of a self; Charles W. Morris, who discusses self-communication in the key of behavioristic selfconditioning; Jurgen Ruesch, who differentiated intrapersonal communication on different levels of abstraction; and Juri Lotman, whose theory of autocommunication contains aspects of all the above mentioned and appears to be the most comprehensive.
