Abstract
“From Semantics to Narrative: The Semiotics of A. J. Greimas,” analyzes A. J. Greimas’ semiotic methodology of text analysis as detailed in the form of structural semantics. The method itself has become the core technique of semiotic text analysis of the influential “School of Paris” founded upon the premise of the existence of a semantic universe prior to the articulation of narrative structures. The embodiment of semantic structures in discourse on a microscale, that meaning is achieved through articulation by means of elementary axiological structures of value categories. According to Greimas’ semiotic method, these arbitrary universals are the starting point for the analysis of the semantic universe yet can never be isolated in pure form, but only when articulated.
