The author proposes the Semiotic Frame as a method by which to analyze those peculiar types of ‘images’ (or concepts, or representations) such as the ‘image of the body,’ the ‘image of a place,’ etc. This method consists of giving to a sample of subjects verbal stimuli and then asking them to write within a time limit “all those words of which the item itself reminds them.” Semiotic Frame is an evolution of the Free Association method, referred to ‘social’ images instead of to individual reactions. The author presents as examples the “Holiday,” “University,” and “Nature” Semiotic Frames.

Abstract The aim of the article is to see the degree of implicit position and value correlation between the voters of particular political parties in Slovakia (SMER-SD, SaS, and SDKÚ-DS). The free association method is supposed to reveal implicit purposes of individual political issues, beliefs and values in the eyes of their voters. Social representations, public discourse and implicit purposes objectified and anchored in civil society by the political elites are obtained by the discrete association method. The focus is held on the importance of political discourse for the voters to take note in the decision-making process in the election to the Parliament of the Slovak Republic in 2012.
