| | The Concept of Text in Cultural Semiotics |
 | | The Danish linguist Louis Hjelmslev (1943) who was an important source of information to the French structuralists and the Tartu school, opposed the text to the system, more or less like Saussure placed "parole" in opposition to "langue" (for which another disciple of Saussure, Buyssens, used the terms "discours" and "langue"). |
 | | Where Hjelmslev clearly deviates from common usage is in not requiring any kind of closure of the text (beginning and end, standing out form the non-text, which is important to Lotman, as we saw). |
 | | However, Hjelmslev (1943:35ff) defines text/process as units in "relation" (both-and-relations), opposed to the system which is in "correlation" (either-or-relations). |
