The theory of ideology and the study of language are two concerns which bear a close connection. For the theory of ideology has commonly sought to examine the ways in which `meaning` and `ideas` affect the conceptions or activities of the individuals and groups which make up the social world. The analysis of ideology is, in a fundamental respect, the study of language in the social world, since it is primarily whitin language that meaning is mobilized in the interests of particular individuals and groups in everyday life. The recognition of this close connection between the theory of ideology and the study of language has offered the possibility of linking the analysis of ideology to forms of philosophy which has focused on the nature of language and meaning, on the one hand, and to forms of linguistics which have been applied to literary texts and social interaction, on the other. The task of accounting for the phenomenon of ideology has called for an integrated approach to the nature and analysis of language in the social world. In this essay, we, at first, will discuss the considerations of Castoriadis and Lefort to the theme of ideology and the social imaginary. Then, we will consider the link between language and ideology in respect of the discourse analysis. Here we want to propose, in a sketchy and provisional way, an interpretative methodology which is both tailored to the task of analysing ideology and capable of incorporating former or explanatory methods. The depth-interpretative procedure which we want to propose may be divided into three principal phases. The first phase of the process may be described on the dimension of social analysis. The second phase of the process may be described as the dimension of discursive analysis. The third and final phase of the process may be called interpretation. And finally we will introduce the work of Michel Pe＾cheux and his associates who have attempted to integrate on Althusserian approach to ideology with a technical apparatus for the analysis of discourse. We wish this introduction to be a reference to explore formal or explanatory discursive processes for the methodology of literary education in Korea.
