因著米克‧巴爾（Mieke Bal）對於第二人稱（“you”）多層次意義的誤解，本文認為該代名詞應視為一流動的符號，而非僅僅是指示語，並進一步勾勒其在文法、言談、敘事等三範疇中的蘊涵。目的有二：就第二人稱在這些範疇裡的符號現象作一整理，且開展出此人稱的知識體系，即其既歧異又具統合性的表意機制。以第二人稱之於知識的重要性及人類主體的相關性而言，本文將指出其表意軌跡可能是透過再現、延伸與／或奪取等三種模式達致。

To address Mieke Bal’s misconception of the multilayered levels of you, this paper argues that this pronoun is a fluid sign (more than a deictic entity) and attempts to adumbrate its implications in three clear-cut spheres: grammatical, discursive, and narrative. The aim is two-fold: to sum up in one place how you is conceived in these different spheres and to inaugurate an architectonics of you in terms of its once disparate and integral signifying mechanisms. Regarding the epistemic significance
and relevance to human subjectivity implied by you, this paper finds that its trajectory of signification runs in the modes of representation, extension, and/or usurpation.
