Thomas F. Broden studies semiotics, the study of signs and meaning-making, with a particular focus on the life, ideas, and international influence of the linguist and semiotician A. J. Greimas. His work traces how Greimas' theories were developed, translated, and received across different countries and language communities, and also engages with broader topics in structuralist and poststructuralist theory. Much of his output involves intellectual biography, historical linguistics, and comparative studies of narrative and discourse analysis.
