सारांश	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.	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.
