Thinking Activity:Structuralism

Hello readers!
   This  task given by Dr. Dilip Barad sir. Dr. Dilip Barad sir head of English  English Department,   Maharaja Krishna kumarshihaji bhavnagar University.  This task related  structuralism. Click here .So  structuralism  is a method  of interprting and  analying  such things as language,  literature,  and society,  which  focuses  on contrasting ideas or elements  of structure  and  attempts  to  show   how  they  relate   to the  whole  structure.

 Structuralism is a systematic study of language.  In this term  we can studies language  from  various  angles.  Structuralism movement  first  time seen in the  work of the anthropologist  Claude  Levu- Strauss.


There  are two types of methodology used by critics for study of language .
     [1]  Diachronic
     [2] Synchronic

Diachronic And  Synchronic two  different  viewpoint in linguistic  analysis. A Synchronic  approach considers a language at a moment in a time without  taking  its  history into accsunt.  Synchronic linguistics aims at  a  describing  a language  at a  specific point of time,  usually the present.

☆ Language =Langue + parole

In simple  way  language Means the entire  human  potential for speech. Langue Means the  system  that  each of uses to generate discourse.  Which  is   intelligible  to  others,  and parole is  individual.

☆ Sign = signifier + Signified

Sing  is  anything  that   conveys  the message,  signifier  give  meaning in  word or image  and signified  is related  with  mental concept, what  evokes  in the mind.

 Example:  Cow - sign , four lagged  animal- signifier
           
                 Religious  beliefs  as way mata signified.

Genette  also   gave  the concept    of  narrative discourse:

     《1》 order
     《2》 Frequency
.    《3》 Duration
      《4》 voice
      《5》 Mood
Let's see the  this concept of  narrative discourse.

  《1》 Order :
  Story   arrangements  like simple  murder  occurs  event-1  than the circumstances of the  murder  are related to  a detective  event-2 and   finally  the  murder is caught  event-3 for example like  C.I.D. and crime patrol serial.

《2》 Frequency: 
       Frequency   is the  another   concept  of narrative discourse. The  separation between  an event and   its  narration  allows  several  possibilities  .for example  like  "  tarak maheta ka ulata chashma"  serial.

  《3》  Duration:
  There are  the  two  main  elements  of  Duration  first  is ten years passed but a short narrative  time it . Means they  narrated  in  few  seconds.  For example like  "  ye rista kya kah lata  hai"  serial.

  《4》 voice:  
         
   Voice  is concerned  with  who  narrates   and from where.  Thisis can be

 Split four  ways:

    ☆ Intera = diegetic= inside the text

  ☆ extra  =diegetic =  outside  the text

☆ Hetero  =diegetic = The   narrative  is  not   a character  in story  (  for example  like    Mahabharata)


《5》  Mood:

 Genette  said  narrative   mood is development  of the perspective  of the narrator. For example  like  music,   narrative mood has  predominates  pattern.
