Semiotics

Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols and their meanings in communication. It explores how we interpret signs—like words, images, or gestures—and how these interpretations shape our understanding of the world. In philosophy and logic, semiotics examines how language conveys meaning, how arguments are constructed, and the relationships between signs and what they represent. It's important for understanding not only language but also how we perceive and critique art, literature, and social interactions, as it highlights the underlying structures of meaning in human communication.
