Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) est le précurseur de la linguistique moderne. On lui doit des distinctions majeures : entre signifiant et signifié, synchronie et diachronie, langue et parole. Et surtout, une réflexion inédite sur l'arbitraire du signe et la sémiologie.Mais qu'en est-il exactement ? Quelle est la vraie pensée de Saussure sur ces questions qui restent essentielles aujourd'hui ?Le Cours de linguistique générale (1916), rédigé par ses disciples et paru après sa mort, sert de référence principale pour le Saussure théoricien de la linguistique générale. Ferdinand de Saussure est donc l'auteur d'un Cours qu'il n'a pas écrit et dont se réclament aujourd'hui la plupart des sciences humaines.Il faut donc tout reprendre et mener l'enquête, en s'appuyant sur ses propres manuscrits dont certains, fondamentaux, viennent d'être miraculeusement retrouvés.

This is the first English-language guidebook geared at an interdisciplinary audience that reflects relevant scholarly developments related to the legacy and legitimacy of Ferdinand de Saussure's Course in General Linguistics (1916) today. It critically assesses the relation between materials from the Course and from the linguist’s Nachlass (works unpublished or even unknown at Saussure’s death, some of them recently discovered). This book pays close attention to the set of oppositional pairings: the signifier and the signified, la langue (language system) and la parole (speech), and synchrony and diachrony, that became the hallmark of structuralism across the humanities. Sometimes referred to as the “Saussurean doctrine,” this hierarchical conceptual apparatus becomes revised in favor of a horizontal set of relations, which co-involves speaking subjects and linguistic structures. This book documents the continued relevance of Saussure’s linguistics in the 21st Century, and it sheds light on its legacy within structuralism and phenomenology. The reader can consult the book on its own, or in tandem with the 1916 Course.
