Structuralism is a research method focused on describing and analyzing the structure of complex entities. This approach has its roots in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure, who suggested examining language as a system where each component can only be fully understood in relation to other elements, either through similarities or oppositions. Thus, it is the combination of these interactions that gives shape to the structure within the framework of structuralism. This approach encompasses various currents, notably distinguishing itself from phenomenology from a philosophical perspective.
