ABSTRACT
Discursive order depends on a priori principles. It can be thus contrasted in two alternative ways: (1) by disorder only-the case of an “absence” of ordering principles (the limitation of this notion was discussed in Chapter 2), or (2) by disorder as well as by a different type of order. The second alternative suggests that the “absence” of external principles (or a poor compliance to such principles) does not necessarily lead to disorder. In this case, each type of order is contrasted in two ways: by disorder and by an alternative order.
