no positive term at all.
Here I am speaking of a difference in the signifying element.
The mechanism of signifying elements is based on differences.
Likewise for signified elements, there are only differences that will be governed by differences of an acoustic nature. The idea of a future will exist more or less, depending on whether the differences established by signs of the language (between the future and the rest) are more or less marked.
Aller ['to go'] functions because it is different from allant ['going'] and allons ['(we) go'].
aller | allons | allant
English going = aller, allant
Unsegmented, given no acoustic difference between two ideas, the ideas themselves will not be differentiated, at any rate as much as in French.
So the whole language system can be envisaged as sound differences combined with differences between ideas.
There are no positive ideas given, and there are no determinate acoustic signs that are independent of ideas. Thanks to the fact that the differences are mutually dependent, we shall get something looking like positive terms through the matching of a certain difference of ideas with a certain difference in signs. We shall then be able to speak of the opposition of terms and so not claim that there are only differences (because of this positive element in the combination).
In the end, the principle it comes down to is the fundamental principle of the arbitrariness of the sign.
It is only through the differences between signs that it will be possible to give them a function, a value.
If the sign were not arbitrary, one would not be able to say that in the language there are only differences.
The link with the chapter entitled Absolute arbitrariness, relative arbitrariness is this: I have considered the word as a term placed in a system, that is to say as a value. Now the interconnection of terms in the system can be conceived as a limitation on arbitrariness, whether through syntagmatic interconnection or associative interconnection.
So: In couperet syntagma between root and suffix, as opposed to hache.
(Interconnection, syntagmatic link between the two elements.)
Hache ['axe'] is absolutely arbitrary, couperet ['chopper'] is relatively motivated (syntagmatic association with coupe ['chop']),
couperet
hache
syntagmatic limitation absolutely arbitrary.
plu ['pleased']
plaire ['to please']
associative limitation
In this course only the external part is more or less complete.
In the internal part, evolutionary linguistics has been neglected in favour of synchronic linguistics and I have dealt only with a few general principles of linguistics.
These general principles provide the basis for a productive approach to the details of a static state or the law of static states.
