Semiotics: The Problematic of Terminology and the Multiplicity of Semiotic Concepts

Abstract

The term faces a problem that is difficult to solve in the critical and literary discourses, especially in the field of modern literary curricula observed in the western literary work when acquired in the Arab East. What may have increased that difficulty was the large number of Western critics and philosophers who added to the terminological hierarchy of curricula, specifically, semiotics, besides dealing with the term semiotic in many languages, ​​as well as its details, ramifications and concepts that spread in most sciences. The verification of the term semiotics for the critical process is only an important compass in determining the direction for this term to play its effective role in reading the literary text and enriching the entire critical process in the modern reception for literature.
