Hypostatized Language: The Psychomechanics of Gustave Guillaume’s ‘langue’ and the Linguistics of Karl Bühler’s ‘parole’

Abstract

With this contribution, reaching from the lessons of Gustave Guillaume, from its psychomechanic of the language s and from Karl Bühler, whose theoretical reflections rotate around an instrumental and representative model of the language facts, we propose to highlight the fact that linguistics, or at least a not negligible part of it, has remained berthed to an immobile conception of the language, to “saying without to listen”, neglecting completely the fundamental role of the reception in the concrete event linguistic, in the speech.
