Substance
Substance In the vocabulary of Hjelmslev, the term substance denotes the semantic charge assumed by a semiotic form in order to produce meaning. Meaning, moreover, signifies only in the joint manifestation of two distinct forms which correspond to the two planes (or levels) of language: the level of content, composed of a form and a substance, and the level of expression, also made up of a form and a substance.
In speech, for example, the sound we make represents the substance while the separate words we pronounce are based on the linguistic system giving form to the sound. Together, substance (sound) and form (linguistic system) amount to our speech on the level of its expression. Equally, the content of our speech is composed of general ideas or semantic raw material - its substance - which is organized in accordance with rules of grammar, that is, its form. See also form and expression and content.
