semiology

(also semiotics) the study of signs, both individually and grouped in sign systems. It includes the study of how meaning is made and understood.


The definition that I use comes from Wikipedia. The quote comes from Saramago again: “he was now keen to show that he, too, was capable of the most subtle of semiological interpretations.”
