For the last time: the "structure" IS the binary opposition
^^^^^ CB: Well, I hope it's your last time saying it. I'll explain it to you one more time. '
The binary opposition is the binary opposition. The structure is the relationship or identification of two ore more binary oppositions. In my example, male/female is _not_ the structure. Get it ?
^^^^^^^ All of this structure is not metaphor (although it is the basis of metaphor) it IS binary opposition - it IS opposition itself. You get me yet?
^^^^
CB: Now you've just said, "The structure is the binary opposition...it is opposition itself" Even you should be able to tell you are confused now.
You get an F in this class on structuralism. You don't understand the most basic ideas.
