Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols, and their interpretation and use. Roderick's interest in studying the meaning behind different types of flowers makes use of semiotics, as flowers can be considered a symbolic and communicative form of language. Grounded theory, constant comparative, and variable analysis, on the other hand, are research methods used to develop or test theories, while floral analysis is not a recognized research method.
