ZINNA, Alessandro. Immanence: Semiotic vanishing line. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2014, n.31, pp.19-47. ISSN 2594-0619.

This study provides an outlook into the principle of immanence by including it in a current of thought that began in Greece and later led to the philosophy of Deleuze. Hjelmslev's structuralism and Greimas' semiotics have provided the basis for including the sciences of language along this historical and theoretical vanishing line. When rereading the main passages of Prolegomena, we find no exclusion of substance or transcendence, but rather a proposed synthesis in two tenses that moves from form to substance to distinguish what is inherent from what is accidental in the phenomenon of language. Recent developments in semiotics have permitted the inclusion of that which was seemingly excluded from the structural hypothesis: subject, praxis, experience and factual reality. Based on this research, objections raised to the principle of immanence are countered by the transcendental empiricism of Deleuze's philosophy, which can reconcile semiotics of the subject with that of the object, a theory of haecceity and singularity with that of constants and generality on a foundation that still defines itself as immanent.
