The signiWcation process takes place through networks of such triangles, and what is a signiWer or signiWed in one triangle may become the referent of another. Meaning, on this account, is still constituted through difference, though not only through difference. Moreover, the generation of meaning and the success of acts of reference are inXuenced by context (Nellhaus, 1998).
They are not only likely to undergo modiWcation as they are absorbed into different conceptual frames, but in any case they too are not identical to the practices which they inform and describe. Fourthly, not all social research involves interaction and dialogue between the researcher and the researched through interviews, questionnaires, participant observation, where the answers given by the researched are likely to be inXuenced by the researcher. Plenty of social research is done without this interaction, not least because dialogue is often impossible, inappropriate or unnecessary.
