Abstract

The meaning is originally cut out of the nature by action relating to the nature. But, discourse as productive action has only proved into the unit in the necessary course of human culture, in the course of translation of codes. If we consider action of parole as creative one, it must be after the accumulated strata of codes, social and cultural context, and the reificated meaning-productive mechanism are made objective. Saussure's Semiology that has been said to be defective in semantics will take a important part in analyzing the reificated meaning-productive mechanism, if we only reinquire into Saussure's epistemologic premise and by means of generalizing action of parole into social and cultural action, and the context into the social context, ideologie, social value, social norm.
