0153 Of course, I don’t want to pick a fight with my earlier rendition of Saussure’s dyad, {parole<\/em> as matter [substantiates] langue<\/em> as form}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I only want to suggest that the following hylomorphes<\/em> are the appropriate actualities that are addressed by the semiological2a<\/sub> structuralist2b<\/sub> model2c<\/sub><\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0154 The hylomorphe2a<\/sub> for Saussure’s semiology3a<\/sub> is universal, for any spoken language.  It2a<\/sub> is a subject of inquiry because of the fact that the material causality<\/em> gets muddled.  Some sort of thought2am<\/sub><\/em> substantiates a speech-alone word or phrase2af<\/sub><\/em>.  At the same time, parole3af<\/sub><\/em> can entangle thought2am<\/sub><\/em>.  But, the entangled thought2am<\/sub> (as matter) is not the same as the originating thought2am<\/sub> (as matter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0155 Here, I pause, in order to ask, “What does the cat say to the telephonic mouse?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: “May I put you on paws?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0156 I continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The content-level actuality2a<\/sub><\/em> is virtually situated as matter2bm<\/sub>, language2bm<\/sub>, that substantiates a literary text2af<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the content- and situation-level actualities2<\/sub> are hylomorphes that end up as secondness in category-based nested forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0157 So, what is the consequence of the following sensible construction?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It sets the stage for a perspective-level model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0158 Back in section three (3), the authors print Lotman’s definition of “literary structuralism” commissioned (but unpublished, due to various circumstances) by The Concise Literary Encyclopedia<\/em> (printed in the late 1960s).  Lotman’s contribution does not mention Aristotle (whose trickery is subtly present) or Saussure (the originator of the concept of sign-systems with the claim that parole<\/em> and langue<\/em> emerges from (and situates) signifier<\/em> and signified<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every artistic work (or “text”) realizes a particular sign-system that may be discussed as a particular kind of “language”.  This discussion reveals that the structure3b<\/sub> of genres, literary movements, poetic styles, may all be regarded as “languages sui generis”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

0159 The perspective-level actuality2c<\/sub> is a model2c<\/sub><\/em> that brings the intelligibility of the structuralist hylomorphe2b<\/sub><\/em> (and its attendant normal context3b<\/sub> and potential1b<\/sub>) into relation with the universality of the semiological hylomorphe2a<\/sub><\/em> (and its attendant normal context3a<\/sub> and potential1a<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This2c<\/sub> reflects the categorical nature of judgment,<\/em> especially in regards to the way humans think<\/em>.  For comparison, consider the perspective-level actuality appearing in Looking at John Deely’s Book (2010) Semiotic Animal,<\/em> appearing in Razie Mah’s blog for October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0160 So, the structuralist semiological model2c<\/sub> serves as some sort of judgment, what else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The structuralist model2c<\/sub> (to some degree) stands for the literary text2af<\/sub> (as the noumenon) in regards to the Literary Positivist’s judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, the structuralist model2c<\/sub> of a literary text2bf<\/sub> <\/em>may substitute for the noumenon<\/em>.  Then, the model (standing in for the noumenon<\/em>) [can be objectified as] its phenomena1c<\/sub><\/em> (when the text is regarded through the lens of signifier and signified1a<\/sub> and the laws of the system1b<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0161 The result?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The semiological structuralist model2c<\/sub> serves as a conduit, shifting the literary text2bf<\/sub> from a substitute noumenon <\/em>(in firstness) into something that has been refurnished2a<\/sub> (within secondness, so to speak) in order to entangle the literary positivist intellect3a<\/sub> and exploit its potential1a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0162 Here is a picture of the embodiment of this confounding<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
