A Semiotic Approach on How Meaning can Be Created In An Audience “Human intellectual and social life is based on the production‚ use‚ and exchange of signs” (Danesi‚ 2002) As Danesi (2002) states‚ signs are an integral part of society; from watching television‚ listening to music‚ reading‚ writing or talking‚ we are engaged in sign based behaviour.
