Summary/Abstract: Different theoretical backgrounds for the study of literature leads to different objects of investigation. This article is concerned with the distinctions of two types of theoretical backgrounds (semiotic and semantic) and some consequences in the study of a particular field of investigation of literature: fictional texts and fictive worlds. It is commonly considered that fictional texts are non-referential. This consideration fits in the study of literature with a semiotic theoretical background. In a study of literature with a semantic background fits another presupposition: fictional texts are in a particular sense deemed referential. This article is concerned with the contrast of these positions and some implications for investigations of fictive worlds as part of the study of literature.
