Semiotic

Semiotics, also called semiotic studies and including semiology, is the study of signs and sign processes, indication, designation, likeness, analogy, metaphor, symbolism, signification, and communication. Semiotics is closely related to the field of linguistics, which for its part, studies the structure and meaning of language more specifically.
