“…These signs can change users' perceptions and emotions. Users can forward the posts, and then create a social network adverting effectiveness, which can be represented by objects (Porcar, 2011;Paraskevaidis & Weidenfeld, 2021).…”

Although social network advertising has become part of the online marketing strategy, there is still a lack of research related to the interaction between brand awareness and advertising contents in social network advertising. Using the semiotic theory to explain the interaction in social network advertising, this study introduced sign-interpretation-object triangle to analyze the interactions of advertising content and brand awareness as signs, users’ experience as interpretation, and social networks advertising effectiveness as object moderated by social facilitation. This study was made in an experiment followed by an online survey, which contains 303 participants in Mainland China. This study shows some major findings. There is an interaction effect on advertising content and low brand awareness in a social network. The moderating role of social facilitation is significant in advertising content with high brand awareness.

“…Saussure explained that a sign has three aspects, including the sign, the material aspect (which includes sound, letters, images, and motion) of a sign that has a signifying function or is produced by a material aspect (signifier), and mental or physical conceptual which is indicated by the material aspect (signified). The concept of sign and signified created by Saussure was expanded by Roland Barthes [[28], [38], [39].…”

“…Barthes is noted to have developed Saussure's theory of semiotics which only reached the first stage of semiotics or denotation meaning and second stage of semiotics or connotation meaning so that the scope of this second stage is wider given the context where the sign is created [14], [41]. At the denotative level (literal meaning) and connotative level (sociocultural meaning), Barthes notes are inseparable from the role of Saussure's sign and signified function [38], [40], [42]. Barthes calls the first stage of semiotics a linguistic system, which Saussure calls denotative meaning [43].…”

In general, every woman exposed legs as a form of a symbol (sign) to be appreciated, adored, and center of attention of men. Surah an-Naml [27]: 44 also mentions the story of bared legs of a woman. Does An-Naml verse 44 have the same sign as the circumstances in general? This paper discusses the meaning of wa ka shafat 'an saqaiha, especially Surah An-Naml [27]:44 with a discussion about the meaning of bared legs of Queen Balqis. The use of Roland Barthes' semiotic theory can be carried out through two stages in the semiotic approach. The first stage is an ordinary linguistic system or denotative meaning and the second stage is a mythological system or connotative meaning. The method used in this study is qualitative with a descriptive analysis approach that uses library research data taken from books, journals, and articles related to the theme. This study found the following results: first, the linguistic system in the word wa ka shafat 'an saqaiha is not only interpreted as bared legs but it is also transcribed as an expression of Queen Balqis' belief in the water pool. Second, the mythological system in the word wa ka shafat 'an saqaiha is that Queen Balqis had a perception failure which showed her inaccuracy and lack of selectiveness in accepting the psychomotor test from Prophet Sulaiman, when she saw a palace floor made of glass, yet Queen Balqis saw it as a large pool of water. Furthermore, Prophet Sulaiman clarified the misperception of Queen Balqis that she believed Sulaiman is not just a king but a Prophet, the messenger of God. This study concludes that: first, Queen Balqis's attitude regarding her bared legs is not to attract or gain appreciation from the opposite sex but as a form of test failure given by Prophet Sulaiman, which made her in awe of Prophet Sulaiman's power and oneness of God. Second, the Queen Balqis incident implies the Prophet Sulaiman's da'wah with intelligence.

“…The founders of modern semiotics were Saussure and Peirce, who established two distinct theoretical traditions [ 6 ]. In contrast, the Peircean semiotic has frequently been tested in terms of its applicability and validity to tourism research (e.g., [ 7 – 9 ]). MacCannell [ 10 ] (pp.…”

Based on the Peircean semiotic theory, this study aims to explore the semiotic construction of a festival tourist attraction using the Guangfu Temple Fair in China as a case. A qualitative research method of grounded theory was used to analyze the organizers’ planning scheme, conference materials, 7 interviews, and 45 tourists’ interviews. We found that festival organizers produce festivalscape based on social values and tourists’ expectations, including safety assurance, cultural activity, personnel service, facilities, creative interaction, food, a trade show, and the festival atmosphere. Tourists in the festivalscape, through cultural, novel, social, and emotional experience and collateral observations, assign meaning to the festival’s attractiveness in terms of cultural diversity, vibrant activities, distinctive features, and a sense of ceremony. These findings indicate that organizers’ sign production and tourists’ sign interpretation constitute the conceptual model of the semiotic construction of festivals as tourist attractions. Furthermore, the study extends the understanding of tourist attractions and will help organizers to create successful festival attractions.
