This book uses semiotics to study the design of a selection of banknotes and coins currently circulating in the American and European continents. Its purpose is to argue how the iconography used to decorate them draws on pre-existing social discourses and meaning. Moreover, it aims to show how currency design is an enunciative praxis and hence, an activity shaped by cultural conventions that can be approached as a specific discursive genre. In a nutshell, the book demonstrates how, beyond

Addressing both diachronic developments (using the Corpus of Historical Ameri

The Fifth meeting of the Princeton Phonology Forum (PɸF 2026) will be held at Princeton University on May 15–May 16, 2026. The theme for PɸF 2026 is "Register and subtonal features." In recent decades, two major lines of research in tonal phonology have been concerned with 1) whether to represent tonal categories as tonal primitives or with subtonal features, and 2) how to account for registral effects like upstep and downstep. There has been considerable diversity in the treatment of regist
