Svend Østergaard (26 June 1949 – 4 February 2017) was a Danish cognitive semiotician known for his work at the Center for Semiotics at Aarhus University. Initially trained as a mathematician, Østergaard played a significant role in developing cognitive semiotics, by bridging semiotic theory with cognitive science and empirical methodologies.[2] His research evolved from exploring the structural parallels between mathematics, literature, and meaning in works like The Mathematics of Meaning (1997)[3] to later investigations into dynamical systems, embodied cognition, distributed cognition, experimental approaches to meaning-making, and diagrammatic reasoning.[2][4]
