ABSTRACT

What is a text? From the integrationist point of view, the question stands awkwardly open. Yet without alternative concepts to those that integrationist philosophy refutes, mythical linguistic concepts continue to keep the language myth alive. In this chapter, a remarkable understanding of thought presented by C.S. Peirce (Peirce 1878) is allowed to inspire an integrational account of the psychology of sign-making. Based hereon, dimensions of the traditional reified concept of text are reconsidered as arising from sign-making. The chapter ends with suggesting an integrationist concept of text.
