Tóm tắt	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.	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.
