GALOFARO, Francesco. The form of immanence: A generative-transformational grammar. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2014, n.31, pp.95-116. ISSN 2594-0619.

Placing sense in the plane of immanence is a response to the crisis of cognitivism and the difficulty involved in placing the encounter with the subjectivity of the other within a phenomenological framework (Marsciani, Landowski). To date, this solution makes it necessary to clarify the statements of the plane of immanence by virtue of its constitutive model. In this regard, we propose a generative-transformational grammar of metalanguage developed by Greimas, Courtés, Marsciani and Zinna for the analysis of narrative structures. In showing some of the characteristics of narrativity that do not immediately appear in the plane of manifestation, certain topological features of the plane of immanence are placed in relief: the infinite capacity to generate recursive structures, self-similarity and the problematic link with the plane of manifestation This means that there might still be room in semiotics for the "discovery" of immanent properties, which while not apparent on the surface of the text, are at least sufficient for explaining its characteristics.

Keywords : generative grammar; recursivity; tree; surface narrative syntax; rule.
