列氏的神话模式分析被奉为结构主义的经典之作。他借助索绪尔语言学方法破译神话的深层结构,追寻文本意义的踪迹。本文对列氏的神话模式研究作了简要的评析,并指出此研究方法作为结构主义文论核心思想的局限性。

Levi-Strauss＇s analysis of mythologies is regarded as a classical text of structuralism. He tries to trace the universal structure and textual meaning of mythology by means of Saussure＇s linguistic approach. This paper makes a critical review of Levi＇s basic approach and points out its shortcomings and limitations as the kernel of structuralism.
