As their lives intersect, their hidden crimes, their little infamies, are published, in a spot packed with ardour, cruelty, and deep reserves of black humor.

Bref, nous voyons ici se profiler un risque d'illusion - dont Saussure étaÜ d'ailleurs fort conscient et dont laformule pourrait s'exprimer ainsi : toute structurecomplexe fournit à l'observateur assez d'éléments pour qu'il puisse y choisir un sous-ensemble apparemment doué de sens, et auquel rien n'em pêche a priori de conférer ùne antécédence logique ou chronologique. L'hypogramme (ou mot-thème) est un sous-ensemble verbal, et non une collection de matériaux « bruts ». L'on voit aussitôt que le vers développé (l'ensemble) est à la fois le porteur du même sous-ensemble, et le vecteur d'un sens absolument différent.
