Meaning to say saying to signify

Reflecting on the anadiplosis to say in order to signify to signify in order to say opens the way to the way in which semiotics determines the joint appearance of a form of content and a form of expression (Jean-Michel Adam 1976). This syntagmatic concatenation could be seen straightaway as a simple play on words but much more than that we need to look at a vast universe in which linguistic signs weave their webs of meaning and significance. Through the sequence ''to say in order to signify to signify in order to say'' it is a matter of considering discourse in general and literary discourse in particular as a signifying totality giving itself as its first object a grammar enabling its own analysis. In this specific case it is a matter of constantly moving back and forth between the explicit and implicit connotative and denotative dimensions of discourse in order to determine the interlocutor''s aim or the real meaning of the idea expressed.
