More than a half century, semiology encountered a vast expansion in all its fields to an extent that most books were about relations and their kinds, and that was because of the comprehension of this science by which it became possible to enter any field through the semiotics, and thus, many new fields and researches appeared in linguistics and eloquence beside aesthetics and all depend on this science (i.e. semiology), because it contains message element according to its school. But Semiology did not depend on the shallow level of the text, it rather joins it to far from that through using two main structures: deep and shallow; the deep structure contains more than one level like inductive and constructive elements which form the shallow address structure which depends on constructive and inductive element. Thus, the deep structure observes the inductive and logical dimension of the text and it represents the value induct which it can be expressed in more than one place. As for the constructional level, it moves the structure from a certain situation to another through expressing a series of relations like oppositeness, necessity, contradiction and incompatibility which represent the limits of the semiotic square. However, this dualism with inductive element cannot produce another element unless it enters a series of relations which can give it procedural ability. As for the operation of changing the constructional element from the second level of the deep structure which begins to express the active model, it is being abbreviated; and by reading the text the reader can easily decode the codes and understand them. Therefore, semiology depends on the text’s title based on the writer’s nature and qualities through the dialogue of the characters, thus, the building of a character and its existence are based on how semiology can appear in the text. In one word, semiology tries to form the induct inside the text and through different levels ruled by relations and operations which we can understand clearly.
