Digital Semiotic Analysis
Digital Semiotic Analysis applies the classical study of signs and meaning-making to content produced and circulated in digital environments. It examines how signifiers — words, images, icons, sounds, emojis, hyperlinks, and interface conventions — create meaning within digital texts such as websites, social media posts, memes, and online advertisements. The method draws on Saussurean dyadic semiotics and Peircean triadic semiotics, extended by Roland Barthes's connotation and myth framework and by contemporary multimodal semiotic theory developed for screen-based media.
