Semiotics

Semiotics, also called semiotic studies or semiology, is the study of sign processes (semiosis), or signification and communication, signs and symbols, into three branches:

Semantics: Relation between signs and the things to which they refer; their denotata
Syntactics: Relation of signs to each other in formal structures
Pragmatics: Relation of signs to their impacts on those who use them
