This study, which aims to put forward a work of analysis in the field of semiotics, attempted to present graduate thesis works that examined written texts with the method of semiotics within a unity and thus aimed to facilitate access to the different studies that used the semiotic method. Within the scope of the study carried out on the basis of content analysis, 41 graduate thesis works, in which semiotic analysis methods were applied to written texts, were reached. The type and publication year of graduate thesis works, university, institution and department/discipline where the thesis was prepared, language of the published thesis works, population and sampling of theses and the type of written texts in the analyzed works were all determined in the analyzed thesis works by the help of a form used as a data collection tool. The obtained data were presented through frequency tables. It was seen that out of 41 graduate thesis works analyzed within the study, 26 of them were master’s thesis, 15 of them were doctoral dissertations, the number of thesis work were gradually increasing at present time, master’s thesis works and doctoral dissertations were prepared in 16 and 6 different universities respectively, and the majority of thesis works were prepared at social sciences institute and the department of French language and literature in French language. 48 different textbooks, works, author or poet and 211 texts were selected as the population/group of the study in the sampling graduate thesis works.
