A Description of a Semiotic System with a Relatively Simple Syntax

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of cartomancy from the semiotic point of View. A description of cartomancy is made in purely linguistic terms and in terms of the Peirce-Morris classification. In the first case a described cartomancy system is regarded as a special kind of language; the authors describe its vocabulary and the procedure of phrase generation In the second case the authors analyse successively the semantics, pragmatics and syntactics of cartomancy. In conclusion a typo-logical comparison between cartomancy systems and natural languages is drawn.
