Detailed Explanation & Answer
Structuralism is not primarily about generating new interpretations but rather about understanding the underlying structures that govern texts and signifying practices.
Structuralism posits that literature, like language and other cultural phenomena, operates according to underlying structures and rules of signification.
It places literature within the broader framework of semiotics, which studies signs and symbols as part of social and cultural systems.
