Semiotics, also called semiotic studies or semiology, is the study of sign processes (semiosis), or signification and communication, signs and symbols, and is usually divided into three branches:
Semantics: Relation between signs and the things to which they refer; their denotata
Syntactics: Relations among signs in formal structures
Pragmatics: Relation between signs and their effects on those (people) who use them.
These factors tie in well with some of the theories I have read through as part of my research and help to make clear the meanings that people can obtain from objects, which is what some of the concepts are intended to portray
