CONT

L'influence exercée par la pensée saussurienne sur la linguistique et, par extension, sur les autres sciences de l'homme, a été si profonde qu'une ligne de clivage nette sépare les pays et les domaines où elle fait partie des fondements de la recherche de ceux qu'elle n'a atteint que tardivement et indirectement.
