Question 1
ప్రశ్న 1
Which concept coined by Jacques Derrida combines the senses of differing and deferring?
Select an option first. / ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
• Différance names the movement through which signs differ from one another and defer complete meaning.
• Derrida's spelling with an a is visible in writing but not distinguishable from différence in ordinary French pronunciation.
• The concept challenges the idea that meaning can be fully present at a single moment.
• Trace, supplement and dissemination are related Derridean terms but do not specifically combine these two senses.

In Derrida's thought, the trace is best understood as:
Select an option first. / ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
• The trace is the effect of absent and differing signs within what appears present.
• A sign bears traces of what it excludes and of the other signs from which it differs.
• Meaning is therefore never entirely self-contained or purely present.
• The trace is not an author's intention, a fixed origin or merely a graphic mark.

What is the primary implication of Derrida's concept of the supplement?
Select an option first. / ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.
Explanation:
• The supplement appears to be an addition to something already complete.
• Its necessity reveals that the supposed original whole was lacking from the beginning.
• The concept therefore unsettles simple distinctions between original and addition, presence and absence.
• Derrida famously develops this logic in his reading of Rousseau.

• Derrida links it to the metaphysics of presence in Western philosophy.
• Phonocentrism is the related privileging of speech over writing.

Select an option first. / ముందుగా ఒక సమాధానాన్ని ఎంచుకోండి.

• It reveals tensions within the assumptions and language of an argument.
• Deconstructive reading attends closely to such moments rather than treating them as accidental errors.
