Per Aage Brandt is the author of a dozen books and more than 150
published papers on cognitive and semiotic theory of language, grammar,
aesthetics, art, and music.
As a scholar trained in Romance Philology (French and Spanish), he has
worked his way through structural linguistics and structural semantics,
and elaborated a series of models - in particular related to the
technical and formal representations of textual phenomena such as
enunciation, diegesis, and modal schematisms - for describing patterns
of meaning in the framework of a discourse-oriented (Greimas) and later
a formalized phenomenological (Thom, Petitot) and cognitively (Talmy)
oriented semiotics.
In 2002, he was awarded the Grand Prix de Philosophie by
l'Académie française and was made Officier de l'Ordre des
Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. http://www.case.edu/artsci/dmll/larcs/
