概要	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.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
