Abstract

This research is entitled Semiotics Analysis on Historical Memes in Eno Bening’s Tweet Replies. The study concerns with all the way the researchers explore the meaning of representamen/signs on either non-verbal and verbal data of historical memes in Eno Bening’s tweet replies. The method used in this paper is descriptive qualitative analysis where the researchers describe the meaning of the memes. The researchers also use semiotics analysis proposed by Pierce’s semiotic analysis (1994) in order to discover the interpretation of meaning implied in the memes.
