- Title
The Concept of Value in Saussurian Semiology.
- Authors
Bédouret-Larraburu, Sandrine
- Abstract
This article reflects on the concept of value, one of Saussure's key concepts in semiology: this notion allows Saussure to avoid the question of traditional signification, which would involve a restricted understanding of language as a set of signifieds (signifiés) that would communicate the idea of the speaker. "The essence of the fact", which is also "the essence of the language" appears as a complex tangle where the signs take on meaning in relation to others, hence the idea of value. This article proposes to analyze how the concept of value has led to the renewal of linguistics and resulted in the reinvigoration of its functioning. In order to do so, it will reflect on the meaning of the term value, before examining how it operates at the level of sound, word and literature.
