This paper is based on Benvenistian thinking, especially considering the studies of Émile Benveniste about meaning, significance and semiotic and semantic levels as relevant concepts for reviewers and, as a consequence, to the practice of text revision. In the first section, we give a brief overview of the current scenario of the reviewing profession. Afterwards, we discuss some reflections of Benveniste that we consider relevant to the purpose of this article, bringing up as a theoretical support research based on the work of the linguist, such as that from Dessons (2006) and Messa and Teixeira (2015). Finally, we relate the studies of the linguist to the activity of text revision, intending to contribute to this discussion.
