ABSTRACT
The world of Edward Lear’s limericks is a self-referential semiotic universe. What appears to be nonsense, and hence lack of reference, turns out to be the effect of self-referential semiotic loops. Instead of referring to events and happenings in the world of Lear’s century, the signs of Lear’s universe rather refer to other signs within this same universe. The self-referential loops which lead the readers from signs of the poetic universe back to the same or to other signs of the same universe have the form of stereotypes, mirror images, narrative circles, and indexical or iconic returns to the semiotic point of departure.
