Analysis of a Shakespearean sonnet from a semantic-semiotic perspective

In this article we intend to analyze a sonnet by Shakespeare (Sonnet 65) published and translated by Gomez Gil in a compilation that emphasizes the visual representations designed by Eberhard Schotter. The main objective of this analysis is to find out the organization and signification of the sonnet under a semiotic perspective through the application of Genenerativistic Model of Signification proposed by Greimas (1976). This one intends to explain the whole process of signification from the beginning to the end. The analysis done precise the semionarrative and discursive levels proposed by Greimas (1982) in this text taking into account both levels: the verbal one and the visual one. From this perspective of analysis, results let us come to the idea of signification of the Shakespearean sonnet through the most important figurative lexemes that come from the semantic organization of this poem.
