Cognitive framing analysis of American influencer Katt Denning’s on Instagram

Abstract

Charles J. Fillmore’s frame semantic theory is used in this study in order to analyze social media conversation in terms of communicative and cognitive elements. In this study Instagram caption “2 years ????,” by American influencer Kat Denning was main focus, together with the comments by Instagram users. The study mainly views remarks as a social discourse which creates general social and cultural meaning instead of direct expressions. Relationships and love are not only personal experiences on Instagram, it is mainly socially and artistically perceived and created via public engagement, according to the research. This investigation presents that frame semantics provides a helpful theoretical framework for comprehending the creation and interpretation of meaning in digital communication.
