Rezumat	Interpretive semiotic analysis is a qualitative method that examines how signs — words, images, symbols, gestures, and sounds — produce meaning within specific social and cultural contexts. Drawing on Saussurean semiology and Barthesian cultural analysis, the approach moves beyond surface-level description to uncover the layered, context-bound meanings that sign systems generate. It is widely used in media studies, communication, education, marketing, and cultural research to reveal how representations shape social reality.	Interpretive content analysis is a systematic qualitative approach for analyzing the latent meanings and interpretive frameworks embedded in textual, visual, or documentary data. Unlike frequency-based content analysis, it foregrounds the researcher's interpretive engagement with texts to uncover how meaning is constructed, contested, or reproduced. Philipp Mayring's qualitative content analysis and broader interpretive traditions provide the methodological backbone for this approach.
