Structuralism?

Meaning resides in the structure of language, not in art nor in the reader’s mind
Scientific approach to literary analysis:
structure of language as a logical sign system determines meaning
Two levels of language: langue (“the King’s English”) & parole (everyday speech)
Interpret a text or part of a text by taking its language apart (study word derivations, sentence syntax, etc.)
