Resumo
Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) defined langue
as a social fact, a reality which is exterior to the individual
and his will, and belongs to the society. He has never quoted
Émile Durkheim (1858-1917) while discussing such concept,
however the French sociologist’s conception was widely
known in the intellectual milieu of the early twentieth century.
Moreover, Antoine Meillet (1866-1936), a disciple of
Saussure, while contributing to Durkheim’s newspaper,
L’année sociologique (1905-1906), at about the same time
that Saussure began the CGL (1907-1911) in Geneva,
characterized language as a social fact referring to the
concept established by Durkheim. This article deals with the
linguistic ideas of Meillet that directly or indirectly influenced
a large number of linguists for several decades of the
twentieth century. The linguist dedicated himself to both the
historical and comparative studies of Indo-European
languages, as to the social and historical nature of language.
The social aspect of his announced theory is the central theme
of this historiographical-linguistic study.
