Summary/Abstract: In this paper I discuss the results of research on „Lans” in relation to the "tool box" provided by semiology. Particular attention I pay to constructing meanings of co-participating in the construction of identity and self-presentation. I also diagnose contemporary sign-functions. The article consists of three parts. The first part is an introduction, in which I outline the theoretical basis of research and use analysis of the semiological categories. In the second part I present fragments of research results. In the last part I undertake to explain the results and relate them to broader contexts of meaning, taking into account the multiplicity of optics and ways of interpreting sign-functions.
