This work seeks to “rediscover Saussure” in the most acute parts of his perplexity, even anguish. For him, language and other systems of signs are at once “closed systems” and “slippery substances”. When following him, the path is arduous but exciting, from start to finish.

Michel Arrive, an emeritus professor at Paris Ouest – Nanterre – La Defense University, has published La Grammaire d’aujourd’hui (Paris, 2010), books on Jarry and Saussure, and novels, including Les Remembrances du vieillard idiot (Paris, 1977). He focuses on the recent history of linguistics, interferences between language and the unconscious, and the relationships between linguistics and literature.
