  2. CODE, or historico-hermeneutic structure (linguistic, semiotic, socio-historical) is the ideational form of relations between signs within the context of a received socio-cultural network. Ferdinand de Saussure defined language as a system of signs, a social product, a code relatively independent of individual manifestations at the level of "parole" [word]. A linguistic unit has no reality independent of its relation to the whole: it is defined in the same instance by the place it occupies within the relational network of the language in question and by its distinctiveness from similar units in that network.[5]



Three phases mark the process of cultural investigation:

- the collection and recording of available data (linguistic data, archives and documents of historical, sociological or ethnologic nature, and a variety of other cultural information.
- delineation of the elements collected and their comparison in relation to differences in meaning.
- the reorganization of those elements by means of their respective functions, and the interpretation of documents on the basis of that reorganization.

    This process does not aim to explain a phenomenon, but rather to describe it and to interpret the data, which is to say, to elucidate the meaning of the diverse products of culture through the use of interpretative models which have been constructed. Code is extracted from the past, identified by forms which are recognized or discovered anew, and it is open to all new efforts at formalization and to any information capable of modifying its structures.
