Ferdinand Saussure, Structuralism, Linguistic signAbstract
This paper aims to discuss the main concepts developed by Ferdinand de Saussure in the field of structuralist linguistics, especially regarding the degree of value of the linguistic sign, which is roughly conceptualized as the basic unit of language made up of two inseparable parts: the signified (or concept) and the signifier (or acoustic image). For linguists, the linguistic sign is crucial for understanding the structure and functioning of language, as well as having profound implications for human communication and the construction of meanings within a society. This study focuses predominantly on the reflections of Saussure (2006). The research includes contributions from Neumann and Garcia dos Anjos (2018), Fiorin (2017), Neves (2005), Martelotta (2012), among others. The research in question is characterized as bibliographical, which for (Severino, 2013 apud Sakamoto and Silveira, 2014) consists of the review and critical analysis of existing literature on a particular topic or research problem, not limited to the simple collection of references, but involving a deep investigation of the ideas, theories, methodologies and discoveries presented by various authors in relation to the subject studied, here in particular, the main material analyzed is the “Course of General Linguistics”.
