The field of study that studies and examines signifiers, symbols and signs in a field of study is called semiotics. Semiotics is a scientific study that studies the signs that exist in a literary work, these signs represent something else, not the real thing. Therefore, a semiotic approach in poetry will clarify the meaning that has been a sign in the expression of a poet.
