{wiki=Isotopy_(semiotics)}
Isotopy in semiotics refers to the recurrence of a particular meaning or conceptual theme through different signs or expressions within a text or discourse. It is a way to identify and analyze the underlying coherence and consistency of meaning that spans various elements in a communicative context. The term "isotopy" was notably discussed by the semiotician Algirdas Julien Greimas, who used it to explore how certain themes or motifs can unify a narrative or text by appearing in different forms or representations.
