Abstract:

Media semiotics is a valuable method of focusing on the hidden meanings within
media texts. This new edition brings "Understanding Media Semiotics" fully up
to date and is written for students of the media, of linguistics and those
interested in studying the ever-changing media in more detail.

 
Offering an in-depth guide to help students investigate and understand the
media using semiotic theory, this book assumes little previous knowledge of
semiotics or linguistics, avoiding jargon and explaining the issues step by
step. With in-depth case studies, practical accounts and directed further
reading, "Understanding Media Semiotics" provides students with all the tools
they need to understand semiotic analysis in the context of the media.

Semiotic analysis is sometimes seen as complicated and difficult to
understand; Marcel Danesi shows that on the contrary it can be readily
understood and can greatly enrich students' understanding of media texts, from
print media right through to the internet and apps.
