is language<sub>2am<\/sub>(derivative).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0310&nbsp;<em>The onamasiological question<\/em>&nbsp;concerns whether there is a spoken&nbsp;<em>parole<\/em>&nbsp;corresponding to a particular (and perhaps, yet to be fully articulated) positivist&nbsp;<em>langue<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When applied to the situation-level of the derivative interscope, the onamasiological question transforms into a cultural query, asking &#8220;Is there a&nbsp;<em>presence<sub>1b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;to attach to&nbsp;<em>the meaning<sub>1a<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;<em>underlying the content-level positivist langauge<sub>2am<\/sub>?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0311 Say what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh my.&nbsp;&nbsp;I now proceed step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0312 Step one, the literary text<sub>2af<\/sub>&nbsp;(the SO<sub>i<\/sub>&nbsp;for the semiological<sub>2a<\/sub>&nbsp;structuralist<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;model<sub>2c<\/sub>&nbsp;as SV<sub>i<\/sub>) entangles&nbsp;<em>an explicit abstraction<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;consisting of&nbsp;<em>a label<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;emerging from (and situating) a positivist<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;meaning<sub>1a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this entanglement, the fundament is confounded with the derivative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0313 In step two, I compare the two content-level actualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the fundament interscope, langue<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;(more or less actualizing a signified<sub>1a<\/sub>) [substantiates] parole<sub>2af<\/sub>&nbsp;(more or less serving as a signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the derivative interscope, the literary text<sub>2af<\/sub>, that was originally substantiated by the language<sub>2bm<\/sub>&nbsp;of the mother tongue, now serves as the form<sub>2af<\/sub>&nbsp;&nbsp;(perhaps, as a semiological<sub>2a<\/sub>&nbsp;structuralist<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;model<sub>2c<\/sub>&nbsp;substituting for the literary text<sub>2bf<\/sub>) entangling an expert language<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;that emerges from and situates the possibility of &#8216;positivist<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;meaning&#8217;<sub>1a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0314 This directly calls to mind&nbsp;<em>the semasiological question,<\/em>&nbsp;&#8220;Given a spoken word<sub>2am<\/sub>, then&nbsp;<em>what<\/em>&nbsp;is its meaning<sub>1a<\/sub>?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words,&nbsp;<em>what&nbsp;<\/em>is the meaning<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;(associated to signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>) of the explicit abstraction<sub>2am&nbsp;<\/sub>(associated to parole<sub>2af<\/sub>) in the derivative interscope?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0315 For the fundament, definition is regarded as implicit for the originating language<sub>2bm<\/sub>, specified by a text&#8217;s {langue<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;[substantiates] parole<sub>2af<\/sub>}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the derivative, definition must be explicit, leading to the semasiological question.&nbsp;&nbsp;An explicit abstraction<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;(a label, parallel to parole<sub>2af<\/sub>) is entertained (or entangled).&nbsp;&nbsp;However, the positivist meaning<sub>1a<\/sub>, which may serve as a metaphorical signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;for the explicit label<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;resides in the domain of possibility<sub>1<\/sub>. An explicit abstraction<sub>2am<\/sub>emerges from (and situates) the potential of positivist meaning<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;in the normal context of the TMS intellect<sub>3a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0316 Step three, the derivative&#8217;s explicit abstraction<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;manifests as a label<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;arising (like a parole<sub>2af<\/sub>) from the potential of &#8216;positivist<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;meaning&#8217;<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;(serving as a metaphorical signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>).&nbsp;&nbsp;The label<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;(the fundament&#8217;s parole<sub>2af<\/sub>serves as a metaphor) emerges from a meaning<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;(the fundament&#8217;s signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;serves as a metaphor) and its signified<sub>1a<\/sub>carries the potential of &#8216;exhibiting explicit positivist<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;meaning&#8217;<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;(and the fundament&#8217;s signified<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;serves as a metaphor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0317 In short, the entangled language<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;seems like parole<sub>2af<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, positivist meaning<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;seems like a signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The language<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;of the explicit abstraction<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;(the metaphorical parole<sub>2af<\/sub>) appears to do justice to the TMS positivist intellect<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;and the potential of &#8216;meaning&#8217;<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;(the metaphorical signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How about a diagram of four elements of the derivative interscope?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Slide73.png\"><img

Saussure&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>langue<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;(for the fundament interscope) also serves as&nbsp;<em>a metaphor for the literary text<sub>2af<\/sub><\/em>(for the derivative

metaphorical langue<sub>1am<\/sub>, corresponding to the possibility of a &#8216;signified&#8217;<sub>1a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saussure&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>parole<sub>2af<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;serves as a metaphor for&nbsp;<em>the language<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;that is entangled by the literary text<sub>2af<\/sub>.<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>This metaphorical parole<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;is both finally and efficiently related to&nbsp;<em>the potential of a &#8216;positivist<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;signifier&#8217;<sub>1a<\/sub>&#8220;<\/em>&nbsp;by way of definition<sub>3<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this sounds a little goofy, since&nbsp;<em>an explicit abstraction<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;emerges from&nbsp;<em>a metaphorical signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>,<\/em>&nbsp;and I am not sure&nbsp;<em>what the corresponding &#8216;signified&#8217;<sub>1<\/sub>&nbsp;might be<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0320 For the fundament interscope, I know that langue<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;[substantiates] parole<sub>2af<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the derivative interscope, I suspect that&nbsp;<em>the literary text (semiological structuralist model)<sub>2af<\/sub>&nbsp;as metaphorical langue<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;[now appears to substantiate]&nbsp;<em>a language<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;as a metaphorical parole<sub>2af<\/sub>,&nbsp;<\/em>offering&nbsp;<em>an explicit label<sub>2am<\/sub>allowing a positivist signifier to constellate<sub>1a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does that imply that&nbsp;<em>the label<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;(metaphorical parole<sub>2af<\/sub>, associated to signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>) precedes&nbsp;<em>its meaning<sub>1a<\/sub><\/em>(metaphorical langue<sub>2am<\/sub>, associated to signified<sub>1a<\/sub>)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is a very good question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0321 In step four, I ask, &#8220;If&nbsp;<em>the explicit abstraction<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;that labels a positivist meaning<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;<\/em>constellates&nbsp;<em>the potential of &#8216;a signifier&#8217;<sub>1a<\/sub>,<\/em>&nbsp;then what is&nbsp;<em>the corresponding &#8216;signified<sub>1<\/sub>&#8216;?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It cannot be the literary text<sub>2af<\/sub>, because the literary text<sub>2af<\/sub>&nbsp;is the metaphorical langue<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;that corresponds to&#8230; um&#8230; the interventional sign-object (SO<sub>i<\/sub>) of the structuralist<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;semiological<sub>2a<\/sub>&nbsp;model<sub>2c<\/sub>&nbsp;(SV<sub>i<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that is the case, then the corresponding signified<sub>1<\/sub>&nbsp;may be&nbsp;<em>something<sub>1b<\/sub>&nbsp;that acknowledges the presence of the entangled language<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Plus, it<sub>1b<\/sub>&nbsp;should show up on&nbsp;<em>the situation level<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0322 Ah, I have arrived at the situation level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If&nbsp;<em>the onomasiological question<\/em>&nbsp;concerns whether there is a spoken&nbsp;<em>parole<sub>2af<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;corresponding to a particular&nbsp;<em>langue<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>, then how does the question apply to a situation where&nbsp;<em>the presence of a signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>,<\/em>&nbsp;underlying an explicit abstraction<sub>2am<\/sub>, requires&nbsp;<em>a corresponding situation-located signified<sub>1b<\/sub>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given&nbsp;<em>the presence<sub>1b<\/sub>&nbsp;of a metaphorical signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>,<\/em>&nbsp;then what&nbsp;<em>technical term<\/em>&nbsp;might label&nbsp;<em>that presence<sub>1b<\/sub>&nbsp;as a signified<sub>1b<\/sub>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would&nbsp;<em>such a signified<sub>1b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;support&nbsp;<em>a referent<sub>2b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;as&nbsp;<em>the situation-level actuality<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;that virtually situates the entangled explicit abstraction<sub>2am<\/sub>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0323 So maybe,&nbsp;<em>the onamosiological question<\/em>&nbsp;may be reframed by&nbsp;<em>the situation-level of the derivative interscope<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does&nbsp;<em>the presence<sub>1b<\/sub>&nbsp;of a label<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;associated to the entangled language<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;of positivist signifiers<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;in the derivative interscope<\/em>&nbsp;serve as&nbsp;<em>a signified<sub>1b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;that is situated by&nbsp;<em>cognition<sub>2am<\/sub><\/em>, as&nbsp;<em>a situation-level actuality<sub>2b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>the normal context of cultural studies<sub>3b<\/sub>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0324 Well, if that reframed question sounds plausible, then I can offer the following conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The fundament interscope<\/em>&nbsp;operates as an empirio-schematic description of&nbsp;<em>what is going on in any particular literary text<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>What is going on when an author writes and a reader reads<\/em>&nbsp;entails&nbsp;<em>implicit abstraction,<\/em>&nbsp;for the most part.&nbsp;&nbsp;In other words,&nbsp;<em>the writer<\/em>&nbsp;conveys a text and&nbsp;<em>the reader<\/em>&nbsp;uses the same text in order to fill in&nbsp;<em>the elements of a purely<\/em>&nbsp;<em>relational structure associated with langue<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This implicit process<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>the subject matter for semiology<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;and structuralism<sub>3b<\/sub><\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>These two fields of inquiry<\/em>&nbsp;culminate in<em>a judgment, actualized as a model<sub>2c<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The derivative interscope<\/em>&nbsp;serves as a Positivist description of&nbsp;<em>what is going on when writing and reading a particular literary text<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;This description uses&nbsp;<em>explicit labels<sub>2am<\/sub>,<\/em>&nbsp;bearing&nbsp;<em>the qualities of<\/em>&nbsp;<em>a<\/em>&nbsp;<em>metaphorical parole<sub>2af<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;(that is, of a positivist&nbsp;<em>signifier<sub>1a<\/sub><\/em>), that will be virtually situated by&nbsp;<em>a cultural thing<sub>2b<\/sub>.<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;In short, an explicit abstraction<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;(SV<sub>s<\/sub>) broadly stands for a cultural thing<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;(SO<sub>s<\/sub>) in regards to cultural studies<sub>3b<\/sub>&nbsp;operating on the potential of a signified<sub>1b<\/sub>(virtually situating a positivist signifier<sub>1a<\/sub>)&#8217; (SI<sub>s<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0325 Thus,&nbsp;<em>the situation level of the derivative<\/em>&nbsp;wrestles with&nbsp;<em>onomasiological issues<\/em>&nbsp;in a strange manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given&nbsp;<em>a signified<sub>1b<\/sub>,<\/em>&nbsp;then what is&nbsp;<em>the name of the corresponding referent<sub>2b<\/sub>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does&nbsp;<em>cognition<sub>2bm<\/sub><\/em>, as&nbsp;<em>a situation-level actuality<sub>2b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>the normal
