The principles of semiotic analysis in approaching the literary text

Abstract

Abstract
Since the world has opened up upon itself,
in war as in peace, the Humanities too have
opened up to each other and to the other
sciences, and the literary output has become an
experimental arena for all theories. It is from
the idea of the creative energies that most
modern schools have launched in the textual
analysis in search of plans of authoring and
synthesis that produce meaning is the focus of
interpretive studies, including semiotics.
The question of the text and textuality is
no longer an issue of intellectual luxury or
literary philosophizing. It has become an
urgent necessity, not only because the concept
of the text has changed, but also because the
analytical tools and critical theories have reassessed the method of looking at the literary
product and placed it in the position of
interrogation, rather than putting it into the
position of accusation and denuding. This
article tries to give the principle rules of
semiotic analysis of a literary text in general,
and notably the traditional texts..
