Return to Saussure

Thesis In Jean Baudrillard, polysemic words are conceptual operators: through puns, reversals, and etymological slippages, language itself performs the instability, reversibility, and disappearance that his theory attributes to contemporary reality. Introduction: From Concept to Word Philosophy has traditionally aligned itself with clarity. Its task, at least since the Enlightenment, has been to define concepts, stabilize meanings, and secure distinctions. Against this backdrop, the writing of Jean Baudrillard appears at once disconcerting and elusive. His texts resist definition, slipping between registers, multiplying meanings, and often assuming a tone closer to literature than to systematic philosophy. Yet this resistance is not a failure of rigor; it is the very condition of his thought. A useful point of entry lies in Sigmund Freud’s insight that language exceeds intention. In dreams, slips, and symptoms, words condense multiple meanings, revealing a logic that escapes co...

As regards language, articulation may refer to the division of the chain of speech into syllables, or to the division of the chain of meanings into meaningful units…one may say that it is not spoken language which is natural to man, but the faculty of constructing a language, i.e. a system of distinct signs corresponding to distinct ideas. [CGL] [26] Introduction: In linguistic studies, traditional approaches often emphasize static rules and intrinsic meanings to explain phenomena such as grammar, phonology, and polysemy. However, Ferdinand de Saussure introduced a revolutionary perspective that focuses on relational and oppositional dynamics within the language system. This article explores how Saussure’s differential approach provides a more nuanced understanding of grammatical facts , phonological distinctions, and polysemy, highlighting the interconnected and active nature of language. Finally, we will briefly explore the Derridean concept of 'the hinge' (la brisure) ...
