Key Points 

The correct answer is 2) B, C and D only.

The three major areas of analysis in communication are semiotics, syntactic, and pragmatics.

• Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols. It is concerned with how meaning is created and communicated through signs.
• Syntactics is the study of the rules of grammar. It is concerned with how words are combined to form sentences.
• Pragmatics is the study of the use of language in context. It is concerned with how meaning is created and communicated through the use of language in different contexts.

The other options, particularism, virtual reality, are not major areas of analysis in communication.

• Particularism is a philosophical approach that emphasizes the importance of individual experience. It is not specifically related to communication.
• Virtual reality is a computer-generated environment that can be experienced as if it were a real place. It is not a major area of analysis in communication, but it can be used to study communication in certain contexts.
