Symbol theory is a branch of semiotics, which is the study of signs, symbols, and gestures and their meanings within various contexts. Semiotics itself was significantly developed by theorists like Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce, and it involves understanding how meaning is constructed and communicated through signs. In the context of symbol theory, the focus is primarily on symbols—entities that represent or stand in for something else.
