<br/><br/> This study aims at establishing a dialogue with the fragments of saussuriantexts recently published under the title Cours de linguistique générale. It tries to retain the non-resolved tensions that are in the texte without dismissing the philosophical dimension of this research which contemporary thought may explore with interest. The enquiry emphasizes the way in which Saussure constantly resorts to a philosophical interpretation of his linguistic discoveries as well as the complementarity he relentlessly tries to show between the mental operations and the structures of thelanguage. He leaves the door open to a phenomenological and ‘‘ allagmatic ’’interpretation of language which is not totally foreign to his deeper inspiration.
