We here provide a presentation and edition of 20 letters sent by Émile Benveniste to Claude Lévi-Strauss between 1948 and 1967. They shed new light on the history of structuralism, the dialogue between linguistics and ethnology, for example in the discussions concerning kinship or social organization, or surrounding the creation of the journal L’Homme.
