In this paper I will try to illustrate how certain concepts from Ludwig Wittgen-stein’s Philosophical Investigations can be included among the theoretical foundations of Ferruccio Rossi-Landi’s semiotic theory. More specifically, I will analyse the homology be-tween material and linguistic production, and how Rossi-Landi reinterprets Wittgenstein’s notion of linguistic use in the light of homological theory. Starting from these assump-tions, I will hypothesise that Rossi-Landi’s homology can be understood as a language-game. To conclude, I will try to demonstrate why homology goes on holiday, that is, why it should be understood as an idling language-game – as Wittgenstein would say.

Abstract
In this paper I will try to illustrate how certain concepts from Ludwig Wittgen-stein’s Philosophical Investigations can be included among the theoretical foundations of Ferruccio Rossi-Landi’s semiotic theory. More specifically, I will analyse the homology be-tween material and linguistic production, and how Rossi-Landi reinterprets Wittgenstein’s notion of linguistic use in the light of homological theory. Starting from these assump-tions, I will hypothesise that Rossi-Landi’s homology can be understood as a language-game. To conclude, I will try to demonstrate why homology goes on holiday, that is, why it should be understood as an idling language-game – as Wittgenstein would say.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
