Some scholars prefer the theory of articulation over homology, where class does not necessarily coincide with sign communities and economic forces may not determine culture. However, some sign systems are more easily used to represent certain groups' interests over others. Cross-connotation, where elements connote or symbolize each other, can create strong connections between signifiers, like how Elvis Presley linked youth rebellion, working class authenticity, and ethnic roots music.

Some scholars may prefer the theory of articulation, where "class does not coincide
with the sign community",
[3] to the theory of homology, where class does coincide with the sign community and where economic forces determine the superstructure. However, "it seems likely that some signifying structures are more easily articulated to the interests of one group than are some others" and cross-connotation, "when two or more dierent elements are made to connote, sym!oli"e, or evoke each other", can set up "particularly strong articulative relationships". #or e$ample% &lvis 'resley(s linking of elements of "youth re!ellion, working-class (earthiness(, and ethnic (roots(, each of which can evoke the others, all of which were articulated together, however !rie)y, !y a moment of popular self-assertion".
