Abstract
The aim of the article is to: a) consider some possible rhetorical figures of general historiography and of historiography of semiotics; b) to find some resonances of M. Foucault's voice in these figures; c) to compare Foucault's ideas about history of semiology (and his forgetting of baroque scholasticism) from his The Order of Things with J.
Deely's perspectives on continual development of sign theory (and his neglecting of perspectives of semiology and structuralism) in his Four Ages of Understanding. In my opinion many historiographies of semiotics has its basic source in this particular conflict.
