Language as structure

Structure means to strew up concept which have elements that belong to the same set. To strew up it means that the elements must be picking one by one to construct the structure itself. As Rowe said that to structure elements by heaping or piling they together suggest that the elements, in relation to each other, constitute their own self-subsisting space, therefore the elements must belong to the same set. The act of strewing or scattering is not self-evident and self-sufficiently which encourages Rowe hypothetically suggest that structure is an abstract conception of temporality. Strew also depends upon a specific temporal act that cannot be repeated but can be imitated.

Based on Horace in Art of Poetry, Horace said to Pisos that the book will be perfectly like such a picture, the ideas of which, like a sick man’s dreams, are all vain and fictitious: so that neither head nor foot can correspond to any one form [...]. I thought if the neither head nor foot can correspond to any one form, I can say that the elements of structure is head nor foot and the structure itself is one form that constructed by correspondences of the head nor foot.

Saussure states that there are four characteristic of language which are, language is a well-defined object in the heterogeneous mass of speech fact, language is something that we can study separately, language as defined is homogeneous, language is concrete and this is a help in our study of it. Saussure also said that although dead languages are no longer spoken, we can easily assimilate their linguistic organism […]. In my opinion, the linguistic organism is also the element of structure. Ideas is the element of languages hence ideas construct the languages so that languages is the structure. The language itself can be the element to construct the narrative text.
