A critical companion of zoosemiotics is the first attempt to systematise the study of animal communication and signification through its most important and/or problematic terms and concepts, and its most representative scholars. It is a companion, in that it attempts to cover the entire range of key terms in the field, and it’s critical, in that it aims not only to describe, but also to discuss, problematise and, in some cases, resolve, these terms.
