About this title: "In his "Course in General Linguistics," first published in 1916, Saussure postulated the existence of a general science of signs, or Semiology, of which linguistics would form only one part. Semiology, therefore aims to take in any system of signs, whatever their substance and limits; images, gestures, musical sounds, objects, and the complex associations of all these, which form the content of ritual, convention or public entertainment: these constitute, if not "languages," at least systems of signification . . . The "Elements" here presented have as their sole aim the extraction from ...

"There is no reason to inflict this text on yourself. If you are looking for a primer, or at least a solid piercing into the semiological membrane, there are far superior works to be had, such as the wonderful "Semiology: The Basics" by Daniel Chandler or "Structural Poetics" by Culler. This book, it seems to me, was meant as a fast and dirty reference for a class or a seminar of Barthes: it rarely defines its terms, it seems disorganized and is also very dry unlike some of others wonderful work, it just lists methods without any reason why one should be interested. The other two books, in particular "Basics," were written long after "Elements" and thus have a historical perspective on the semiology movement, including theory and practice developed well after "Elements" was written, and "Basics" by Chandler even has a glossary of terms at the back. Bartes may be the man, but this is not the book; however, if you are a Bartes completist, already well initiated into the world of Semiology and Structuralism, then by all means pick this up. Everyone else may want to steer clear."
