The point of view of Sociodiscursive Interactionism on Saussure

Abstract

A hundred years after the publication of the Course in General Linguistics, the linguistics studies have focused attention on the importance and relative relevance of Ferdinand de Saussure's thinking for the consolidation of linguistics as a science and for disciplines in this scientific field. This paper, in this direction, aims at presenting some contributions of Saussure's thought to Sociodiscursive Interactionism, especially in the explanation of human development. It consists of a bibliographical revision of Sociodiscursive Interactionism representative texts that deal with the re-signification and integration of Saussurian theses to this theoretical framework. The texts point out that there is a process of (re)discovering of Saussure's fundamental texts (manuscripts and notes), which, together with those already widely known as the Course in General Linguistics, have provoked reassessments and extensions of some of his theses related to the linguistics of speech, to the language as a social system and, above all, to the linguistic sign, its characteristics and its role in human development in the phylogenetic and ontogenetic planes. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n44a1005
