MORPHOLOGICAL IDENTITY, LINGUISTIC CONSERVATION AND VARIATION:ON SAUSSURE AND CULIOLI
Keywords:
linguistic variation, phonetic change, analogy, langue, parole.Abstract
This texts aims at demonstrating one aspect of Saussure’s thought and, broadly, at observing its consequences on Culioli’s enunciative theory: the paradoxical relationship between linguistic conservation and variation. To develop this relationship, a theoretical and conceptual methodology is used, which departs from the heuristic consideration of the dialogue about the topic that occurred between C. Normand and A. Culioli (CULIOLI, NORMAND, 2005). Afterward, we seek support on Saussure’s analyses about analogy and phonetic changes in order to propose that linguistic regularity (that is, related to “langue”) sustains a perspective of change in its use. The conclusion suggests broadening the debate so as to include the speaker as a fundamental theoretical formulation on the movements of linguistic conservation and linguistic change.
