A significant segment of literary theory that is known as semiotics or semiology in cultural criticism, foregrounds linguistic relations between the poetics of literary texts and cultural contexts. To construct a theme in a poem, these linguistic relationships function systematically in the poetic text. The text, itself, ensures the choices and chains of those linguistic units that constitute an organic coherence of a poem. These linguistic units, according to Semiotics, are the cultural units which communicate through a system. The serious concern with semiotics, in contemporary literary theory, is the reflection of the structuralist truth that a criticism of any literary text, without incorporating its linguistic and cultural study, results into overgeneralization in understanding, explanation and interpretation of the text. A word, in semiotic study, is not only considered as a structural unit, but also a unit of cultural expression which plays a key role in the grammar of textual and socio-cultural relations. Since Semiotic study also includes structuralist and narratological studies, the following critical research presents socio-cultural dynamics of the narrative texts of a modern poem.
