The studies of meaning brought many internal and external controversies to the Linguistics, since the early thoughts from Plato and Aristotle in the old Greece. In the twentieth century, such discussions were intensified and built a polarization, in which there were the ones who defended the relevance of the studies on meaning, and the ones who believed to be impossible to develop those researches. In addition, the Linguistic Historiography is the approach developed in this thesis, in order to interpret the work Structural Semantics` theoretical productivity from the author Algirdas Julien Greimas, one of the linguists who defended vehemently the importance and legitimacy of the meaning analysis. Moreover, this guideline is justified due to the pertinence of this work in the linguistics setting, highlighted in different texts that deal with it as a watershed in the language studies. The Strcutural Semantics was published for the first time in French (1966), and it portrays surprisingly many aspects concerning the existing ideas in that period related to the meaning. Perhaps, Greimas lived in the most productive moment for the language studies of the twentieth century. Furthermore, it was in this period that Course in General Linguistics (Ferdinad de Saussure), Prolegomena a Theory to Language (Louis Hjelmslev), Morphology of the Folktale (Vladimir Propp) etc were published. Besides, Greimas lived for a long time in France, the epicenter of many theoretical discussions concerning both, language (langue) and language (langage). Though, his writings were not only read in this country, but also in many others, such as, Brazil where the Structural Semantics started to be part of many articles, dissertations and thesis` references. The respective work made changes in the research contexts of meaning that went beyond the linguistic semantic field, not only about the object, but also to the meaning and no longer to the sign, concerning the method that was completely different from the ones used so far in the Linguistics
