Quelques Remarques sur l'Usage du Terme "l'Arbitraire du Signe"
Original language description
"The arbitrariness of the sign" is described in the CLG as the first principle of the language. This term has become one of the major Saussurean legacies. Nevertheless, the arbitrariness of the sign has been received by the linguistic community with embarrassment, and the critics of this Saussurean concept have not been rare. In my paper, I would like to confront the arbitrariness of the sign as defined in the CLG with one of its most famous critics, that of Roman Jakobson [1971]. I would like to show that Jakobson's criticism is not based on valid arguments, in the sense that Jakobson uses the term "arbitrary" in some other way than it is used in the CLG. I propose to reread the passages of the CLG on the arbitrariness of the sign with a Hjelmslevean point of view, comprehending the language as a sublogic system. This approach will allow the coexistence of arbitrariness and motivation, exactly as in the CLG Saussure mentions onomatopoeia without ever denying the principle of arbitrariness of the sign. The language can be diagrammatic or iconic, without ceasing to be arbitrary.
