सारांश	Critical semiotic analysis is a qualitative method that examines how signs — words, images, gestures, sounds — construct and naturalise ideological meanings. Drawing on Roland Barthes's distinction between denotation and connotation, and on critical social semiotics developed by Kress and van Leeuwen, the approach moves beyond surface-level description to expose how texts reproduce or challenge power relations, cultural norms, and dominant ideologies.	Discourse analysis is a qualitative research methodology that examines how language, communication, and power shape meaning, identity, and social reality. Developed across linguistics, sociology, and psychology (particularly by Norman Fairclough and Jonathan Potter), discourse analysis goes beyond content to analyze language use as a social practice that constitutes and reflects power relations, ideologies, and social structures.
