"Dialogic" as semantic and semiotic dynamics of the literary text - Semiotics of literature in the context of linguistics and language communication

Summary/Abstract: The article entitled “Dialogism as the Semantic and Semiotic Dynamic of the Literary Text (Literary Semiotics in the Context of Linguistics and Linguistic Communication)” investigates the question of the possibility and importance attached to the definiton and differentiation of the semantic and semiotic aspects and modes of literary text-formulation. This question is raised through the examination and by putting into correlation the semantic and semiotic text-developmental processes in terms of the dynamic nature of the literary work, revealing itself in semantic and semiotic dialogues. To functionally define this kind of dialogical semantic and semiotic communication, the research works out a theoretical framework for the interpretation with the starting point being Benveniste’s conceptualisation of the semiotic and semantic. The article tries to reconstruct a broader context for the Benvenistian terms and concepts, on the one hand, involving parallel reading of his The Semiology of Language and Voloshinov/ Bakhtin’s Marxism and the Philosophy of Language, and, on the other, relying on the extension of the Bakhtinian interpretative contexts for the concept of dialogue. In this process, the opposition of the semiotic and semantic is eliminated, being transformed into the poetological principle of intersemiotic meaning-generation in the literary text. To convert theory into practice, a brief close reading sample is offered from Lermontov’s novel A Hero of Our Time.
