سيرورة اللغة : خصائص التغير اللغوي في اللسانيات الحديثة

Abstract EN

Research on the characteristics of linguistic change from Saussure's point of view is, today, a source of mitigating the philosophical complexity of the question of language.

By tracing the characteristics of linguistic change, one finds answers to questions that have long been a concern for language philosophers and scientists.

Knowing the process of the language and the characteristics of its change can answer our argument: How can language remain the same as long as it changes? How can it be said that a language is still, if there is a complete change of its substance, which takes place every few centuries, and that it also remains the same for a longer period of time? It is possible to find answers to these kinds of questions in Saussure's works.

So, proving the credibility of the characteristics of linguistic change and the associated explanations is easier than proving the credibility of the evolutionary interpretation of the animal and plant worlds.

The temporal scale of linguistic change is much shorter than the scale of evolutionary growth, which has allowed the characteristics of change.

Thus, Saussure directed scientific study rather than posing general hypotheses and philosophical reflections.

As for the precise philosophical exploitation of Saussure's thought, he was innocent of him.

He is actually an enthusiastic researcher of language issues and phenomena, urging steps to develop new dimensions of the language lesson without being deterred by it.

Today, going back to Saussure is only an attempt to re-establish the scientific tendency in the study of language again after the (post-structural) studies began to alleviate them.
