Tóm tắt	Digital Semiotic Analysis applies the classical study of signs and meaning-making to content produced and circulated in digital environments. It examines how signifiers — words, images, icons, sounds, emojis, hyperlinks, and interface conventions — create meaning within digital texts such as websites, social media posts, memes, and online advertisements. The method draws on Saussurean dyadic semiotics and Peircean triadic semiotics, extended by Roland Barthes's connotation and myth framework and by contemporary multimodal semiotic theory developed for screen-based media.	Content analysis is a systematic research technique for reducing text, visual, or media material into coded categories so that patterns can be counted, compared, and interpreted. Formalised by Klaus Krippendorff in his widely cited methodology textbook (latest edition 2018), the method sits at the boundary of qualitative and quantitative inquiry: it imposes structured, replicable coding on inherently meaning-laden material.
