1-Structuralism
• Flourishing in the 1960s, structuralism is an approach
to literary analysis grounded in structural linguistic,
the science of language. By utilizing the techniques,
methods and vocabulary of linguistic, structuralism
offers a scientific view of how we achieve meaning
not only in literary works but also in every form of
communication and social behavior.
2-Historical Development
Pre-Saussurean Linguistics
philology, not linguistics, was the
science of language.
Diachronic
Symbol (word) = Thing
Saussere’s Linguistic Revolution
Saussure re-examined philology’s definition of
a word. Saussure proposed that words are
signs made up of two parts
Synchronic
Sign (Word) = Signifier + Signified
written or spoken mark sun
a concept
Saussure’s Redefinition of a word
3-The Structure of Language
According to Saussure, all the
languages are governed by their
own internal rules that do not
mirrored or imitate the structure
of the world.
Title
• Phoneme
Speech sound that distinguishes one word from another
PIN
• Grapheme
The written symbol that represents the phoneme´s sound
/pIn/
• Phonology
The study of the rules governing the meaningful units of sounds in
a linguistic system
• LAMB
In Middle English (1100-1500)
LAMB
/m/and /b/ were both pronounced
Modern American English (1775-present)
LAMB
no English word can end with the two
phonemes /m/ and /b/x
MORPHEME
• Is the smallest part of the word that has lexical or
grammatical significance.
• Lexical: refers to the base or root meaning of a word
(vocabulary)
• Grammatical: Refers to those elements of language that
expresses relationship between words or group of
words, such as the inflections (-ed), (-s), and (ing) that
carry tense, number, gender and so on.
Morphology
Is the study of how the various lexical and
grammatical morphemes combine to form
words.
Syntax
Is the actual arrangement of words in
a sentence
Example
, “Jhon threw the ball into the air”
“Threw the air into the ball Jhon”
Jhon washed the dishes
The dishes were washed by Jhon
Semantic
study of the vocabulary of a language
within a social life, its interpretation
and its laws.
Semantics is the study of
meaning, but what do we
mean by 'meaning'?
Connotation
Meaning simply the set of associations
that a word evokes.
Denotation?
It has also been suggested that the
meaning of a word is simply the entity
in the World which that word refers to
• Langue: The structure of the language
that is mastered and shared by al its
speakers. It refers about all the rules
of the language (grammar, syntax…)
• Parole: It is the individual’s actual
speech utterances and writing. It
refers about colloquial (popular)
language.
ASSUMPTIONS
Structuralists believe that codes, signs and
rules govern all human social and cultural
practices, including communication. That
communication can refers about sports,
education, fashion, friendship and others,
each is a systematized combinations of
codes (signs) governed by rules.

METHODOLOGIES
• Valdimir Propp: Ilustrate how a story’s
meaning develops from its overall
structure given logical and proper
sequence
• Gerad Genette: developed methods of
analyzing a story´s structure to uncover its
meaning (figure of speech).
