Сводка	Comparative semiotic analysis examines how signs, symbols, and meaning-making systems operate across two or more contexts — such as different cultures, historical periods, media platforms, or social groups. By applying semiotic frameworks (denotation, connotation, myth, codes, paradigms) systematically across parallel corpora, researchers reveal how the same sign produces different meanings, how ideologies are encoded differently, or how symbolic structures converge and diverge across settings.	Semiotic analysis is a qualitative method for interpreting how signs — words, images, sounds, gestures, and objects — produce and communicate meaning within a cultural context. Drawing on the structural linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure and the triadic sign theory of Charles Sanders Peirce, and popularised as a research tool by Roland Barthes, semiotics moves beyond surface denotation to expose the connotative and ideological meanings embedded in texts and visual culture.
