When does the Apple Stop Being an Apple? “Defferance belongs to neither voice nor writing” (Saussure)
As presented here, apple alone in a textual form, the definition IS intrinsically “undefinable”. (No, that is not meant as sarcasm). It “is neither a word nor a concept”. Saussure would describe it as nothing. In the omnipotence of structuralism, the placement of the term Apple in this quandary, This is similar to the letter, “a” in J. Derrida's defferance". The missspelling obfuscates all meaning, by extension its very existence. Inherent by the non-existence of defferance, an apophatic “a” allows defferance to transcend existence negating the theology of deference, at the same time, representative of all that is possible. By Derrida’s malevolent misspelling, the strict governing rules of semiology and structuralism are deconstructed. Since for Saussure, difference is a silent functional condition of the sign (Signified and Signifier) to which the linguistic value in the sign is assessed. Meaning concept and sound image are synced. With any change in one, is a change in the other, thus a change of sign. This will allow us to define at least the letter “a”. Since the “a” in defferance is silent in the phonetic, or in speech act, the “a” IS its self, by Saussure’s definition, deference. However, if the written text Therefor representing change in one half of the sign. However, because there is no change in the sign its self, there is no difference or change in value.

When does the Apple Stop Being an Apple? Because an Apple by anyother name would taste as sweet.
Points to Ponder:
2. Which one is not an apple at all? Discuss why or why not. A. Which one was not the apple was not a measurable because, all were representations of an apple. I am hesitant to label a paticular sign (apple) as a “category”; it is similar to Borges’ inference to Celestial Emporium of Benevolent and the categories which divide up animals. It is similar in that with in semiotics, the sign is arbitrary because language is social. There is no true “inner relationship” (Saussure ) to a sound, physical image nor the written representation.
3. What does an apple mean to you? Be very specific and defend your answer.
Ferdinand de Saussure explains Semiology, sign is in the most simplest since is a (or the) “whole” idea when the signifier and the signified or the concept and sound image are associated together. If you would put this in a quasi-math formula it would read similar to: concept (signified) + sound image (Signifier) =sign.
4. Why is it important to be specific when describing something to another person or recording information?
It is important to be specific because a description is dependent on the observes point of view, and the interpretation is dependent on the listener/reader's ability to relate and visualize the description. • What is the point of this activity?
