建议传播系，文化研究，的一切相关学生人手一本此书，早点遇上它解决我多少疑难。当然书本的排布中，按照首字母排列keywords固然有其道理，每个keyword后面都加上了相关的keyword也很不错，但问题在于不能将很多相关的概念联系起来，比如在我看来，Saussure的Parole, langue, sign, signification, diachronic, synchronic, denotation, connotation, symbol乃至structuralism放在一起会比较容易找到，但是这本书里面显然太分散了。当然也可能是因为太多概念太过彼此牵扯，实在难以分类规划，所以只能首字母排放。
