building tearing down the structure

Post to Discussion Board: Week 2 – Building/Tearing Down the Structure

  • Changing Signs of Truth (Downing, 2012)
  • Preface: Preface to the Problem
  • Introduction: Introduction to the Solution
  • Chapter 4: Under Signs
  • Chapter 6: Signs of Deconstruction

In Chapter 4 of Changing Signs of Truth, Downing (2012) wrote:

Saussure, as we have seen, believed that under signs was a system of differences (
langue) that controls each speech act (
parole). In fact, he asserted that ‘in language there are only differences… The idea or the phonic substance that a sign contains is of less importance than the other signs that surround it.’ (p. 114)

In four to five paragraphs, respond to the following:

  • Provide a definition of the terms sign, langue, parole, signifier, signified, and structuralism.
  • How is meaning achieved for the structuralist?
  • What is deconstructionism, and how does it relate to structuralism?
  • How is meaning achieved for the deconstructionist?

Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies and your research.
