Abstract

This research aims at questioning titles and revealing the signs they bear; Within it, it carries many contradictions; it combines strength and weakness, youth and aging, happiness and sadness, emancipation and adherence within a single textual fabric, and it carries with it a set of textual worlds, which can be read in their separation.

This entailed that the research was divided into a preamble, two papers and a conclusion. The preamble dealt with a brief overview of the origins and beginnings of semiotics and the most prominent trends that contributed to the expansion of the semiotics horizon. The first section dealt with the semiotics of the main title and how to link the signs it provides, illuminating the way for the recipient; in order to access and interrogate the internal addresses, then the second section presented the semiotics of the internal addresses and the signs that give it In light contact with the text markers; in order to link those marks; to elucidate the deep structures hidden in context script. The research concluded with the conclusion of the most prominent findings.
