Deskripsi
The texts that have function to represent reality are always 1. written in certain ways (using certain rhetoric and text building strategies) and 2. are recipied as those which represent reality within some cultural code. It is sensible to presume that there are those rhetoric strategies, ways of organisation (tropological, narrative, semantic) of the texts that produce "effect of the reflection of reality” for the model of a reader implicated in the texts. The text is not able to perform its "diverting” to the referent in other way except of the text itself, that means in media of its certain structuring. The referent in the text is representatively mediated. Different way of structuring of the texts of fictions in a certain code will indicate a referential function of the text. It cannot be a guarantee of that (the text can be e. g. only a pastiche of fiction of a factual representation).
