The purpose of this paper is to show how Luis Prieto (1926-1996), a pioneer in structural semiotics, although his thinking is deeply rooted in classic structuralism (Saussure, Trubeckoij, Hjelmslev, Buyssens) from which he draws the core of his reflection, is sur- prisingly close to the problems (and, often, the solutions) typical of analytic philosophy. First, the style (and thinking) of Prieto is quasi-analytic. Secondly, he deals with classic themes of analytic philosophy (e. g. truth, reference, and the role of proper names). Finally, just as the post-analytic philosophy of Searle, the semi- otics of Prieto leads to a theory of institutions, that only death prevented him from developing.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show how Luis Prieto (1926-1996), a pioneer in structural semiotics, although his thinking is deeply rooted in classic structuralism (Saussure, Trubeckoij, Hjelmslev, Buyssens) from which he draws the core of his reflection, is sur- prisingly close to the problems (and, often, the solutions) typical of analytic philosophy. First, the style (and thinking) of Prieto is quasi-analytic. Secondly, he deals with classic themes of analytic philosophy (e. g. truth, reference, and the role of proper names). Finally, just as the post-analytic philosophy of Searle, the semi- otics of Prieto leads to a theory of institutions, that only death prevented him from developing.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
