"The Semantics of Images" is a well-researched study that explores the transfer of the concept of semantics from language to images. Written in 2008 at the RWTH Aachen University, the work highlights the tensions between the iconic and linguistic approaches. Initially, various sub-disciplines of semantics are introduced, before their relevance for image interpretation is examined in detail. This analysis provides valuable insights into the relationship between language and image and is particularly interesting for students and professionals in communication studies. The work is written in German and offers a comprehensive engagement with a central topic in professional communication.
