Curso de Linguística Geral: reação e adesão à perspectiva representacionista

Abstract

Based on Roy Harris’s classical reading of the Saussure’s Course in General Linguistics, this study analyses the presence of a tension between two divergent views on language and meaning, where a traditional representationalist perspective is shown to coexist with an opposing view, similar to the one found in L. Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations.
