Le débat sur la nature arbitraire du signe linguistique. La thèse d’Émile Benveniste (1939) et la glose de Mario Lucidi (1950)
In 1939, Benveniste, in his since then very often cited essay, « La nature du signe linguistique », called into question one of the theoretical pillars of Saussure’s Cours de linguistique générale : the arbitrary character of linguistic sign. In 1950, Mario Lucidi, in his since then not so very often cited “L’equivoco dell’«arbitraire du signe». L’iposema”, called into question Benveniste’s interpretation of Saussure’s thesis, arguing, through a synoptic analysis of Benveniste’s essay and Saussure’s Cours, that it would be out of place.
