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 metaphor analysis is a qualitative method that systematically identifies and interprets the conceptual metaphors embedded in participants' language to understand how they make meaning of their experiences. Rooted in Lakoff and Johnson's conceptual metaphor theory and adapted for empirical social research by Rudolf Schmitt, it applies a hermeneutic lens to treat metaphors not as stylistic ornaments but as windows into underlying cognitive and cultural frames.
