Signs, Senses and Cognition: Lady Welby and Contemporary Semiotics
(2013) In Semiotica 196. p.185-195- Abstract

For instance, a selection of Welby’s vast correspondence with intellectuals, researchers and philosophers important to linguistics, semiotics, psychology and anthropology, to mention a few of her interests mirrored in the exchange of letters, is included in the book.
