Abstract

This paper will focus on two different ways of understanding the scope and consequences of the concept of “Semiotics” in the study of literature. The first, endorsed by Mukarovsky, proposes a view of each literary artefact as a “work-thing” that demands two separate levels of semiotic approach. The second, proposed by Aguiar e Silva, seems to embed the concept within a horizontal system of relations to other equally fruitful hermeneutical devices. It will be suggested that the second alternative is more productive than its predecessor.
