table<sub>2bf<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;(fundament and derivative, Figure 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps, this table further develops and refines Bakhtin&#8217;s semiological structuralist model<sub>2c<\/sub>&nbsp;(Figure 2).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is hard not to imagine that the above figure translates into an interscope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1092 Say what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1093 The Tartu-Moscow School expresses two interscopes,&nbsp;<em>the fundament<\/em>&nbsp;culminates in&nbsp;<em>the semiological structuralist model<sub>2c<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>the derivative<\/em>&nbsp;rises to&nbsp;<em>a yet-to-be-determined perspective-level actuality<sub>2c<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1094&nbsp;<em>Bakhtin&#8217;s notes and scribbles<\/em>&nbsp;express&nbsp;<em>two interscopes<\/em>&nbsp;as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;These two interscopes constitute two adjacent tiers within a model more expansive than the semiological<sub>2a<\/sub>&nbsp;structuralist<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;model<sub>2c<\/sub>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The construction of Torop&#8217;s article intimates that this expanse is well worth investigating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1095&nbsp;<em>The way that Lotman&#8217;s thing includes time<\/em>&nbsp;shows&nbsp;<em>how Torop&#8217;s tables<sub>2af<\/sub>&nbsp;entangle a language<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;of presence<sub>1b<\/sub>&nbsp;<\/em>(as well as meaning<sub>1a<\/sub>).&nbsp;&nbsp;Lotman recognizes<sub>2bm<\/sub>&nbsp;<em>time<sub>2af<\/sub>&nbsp;as a formal requirement of the chronotope<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;and forces Torop to construct&nbsp;<em>his own table<\/em>&nbsp;(Figure

too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1101 If Bakhtin&#8217;s insights are formalized as text by Torop&#8217;s tables, then Torop&#8217;s tables constitute a semiological structuralist model<sub>2c<\/sub>&nbsp;of
