This article, at first, aims to make a few reflections about the concept of linguistic sign postulated by Saussure to, from this approach, visit other that deepened and broadened the Swiss linguist studies, as the definitions presented by Hjelmslev, Ullmann and Pottier. After this structuralist approach, secondly, there is a link between the ideals of Saussure and proposals by the discourse analyst, Patrick Charaudeau, in distinguishing between sense of language and sense of discourse. This study is important, considering that, the problems involving the reading of any text, i.e. the activity "of the language to discourse" is, inevitably, for the design of the linguistic sign, that receives distinct approaches in various chains. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n44a1002
