Abstract

In this essay, we tried to evaluate whether the development of Benveniste’s thought throughout — especially at the end of — his article Categories of thought and language (1958) and in The Semiology of Language (1969) allows us to rethink the role language (langue) plays as an intermediary between thought and its expression as it is proposed by Saussure in Course on General Linguistics. Thus, we proposed the following path: we started at the concepts of langue and langage in Saussure and in Benveniste, next we analyzed these terms usage within the papers mentioned. Analyses lead us to believe that it is possible to consider that besides langue, langage — and its manifestations such as music and plastic arts, for instance — may be the intermediary between thought and expression.
