Literary semiotics

Literary semiotics is the study of how meaning is created and communicated through signs in literature. It explores how words, symbols, and images work together to convey themes, emotions, and ideas. By analyzing these signs and their relationships, semiotics helps us understand how literature produces meaning beyond just the literal words, uncovering deeper layers of context, cultural references, and reader interpretation. Essentially, it examines the codes and systems that enable us to interpret and find significance in literary texts.
