Sintesi	Field-based semiotic analysis is a qualitative approach that combines sustained fieldwork observation with systematic semiotic analysis of signs, symbols, and meaning-making practices encountered in a natural setting. Drawing on the social semiotic tradition of Hodge and Kress, the researcher enters a social field, records its multimodal sign systems — including visual, spatial, gestural, and textual elements — and interprets how participants use and negotiate signs to construct social meanings.	Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates how participants live through and make sense of a specific experience. Rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and extended by Martin Heidegger, it aims to reveal the essential structures of lived experience rather than to measure or predict outcomes. The two most widely applied variants are Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, which seeks universal essences, and Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, which emphasises interpretation within context.
