Thanks for doing this series. I find language and textual criticism fascinating and became interested in semiology after reading "Name of the Rose" by Eco, who is a semiologist but have been to lazy to pursue it. I will watch these and begin reading.
The argument for language preceding speech act is reminiscent of the "chicken/egg" question. Of course the egg evolved long before chickens, so wouldn't it be more correct so say that language is based on the speech instinct?
