Making Sense of CSR Reports: A Methodological Perspective from Semiotics

Research output: Chapter in Book/Published conference output › Entry for encyclopedia/dictionary

Abstract

Semiotics is a linguistic analytical tool that relates to how users of communicated information can draw meanings through the signs perceived from the information (Chandler 2007). Semiotics look further than the content of the writings through the interactions of codes and linguistic principles and the use of logical discourses to make sense of the narratives, thus enabling users to extract deep meaning from the information (Yekini 2017).
