Abstract

ABSTRACT. This study aims to recover the meanings of text that were present at the beginning of the project of semiotics as a science of meaning. For this, we chose the book Sémantique Structurale (1966), by Algirdas J. Greimas, considered the beginning of the semiotics of the Paris School. We will discuss the meanings that support the notion of text in the foundation of semiotics, and also other concepts, such as corpus and discourse. The study is part of the discussion about the object of semiotics, and it explains how the text could move from an object of linguistic substance to a general object of semiotics in the following years after the publication of Sémantique Structurale, resulting in changes in the epistemology, in the theory and in the methodology of semiotics as a science.

Keywords: Text. Corpus. Greimas. Sémantique Structurale. Epistemology.
