The monograph challenges the concept of arbitrariness§of linguistic signs as formulated in the Course in§General Linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure. It§discusses at a logical level the coherence of§Saussure''s three proofs and then traces some of the§linguistic implications of such an approach. Also,§the research takes into account various arguments§against the principle of arbitrariness that have been§sporadically expressed during the years (Eduard§Pichon, Michel Arrive, Plato, Roman Jakobson, Emile§Benveniste, and the Russian philosopher Alexej Losev,§for example); but tries to go even further by§examining what kind of linguistic research as well as§what attitude to language phenomena may be needed in§case one accepts a principle opposite to what The§Course presumes. This is where the concept of language ideas is introduced. Saussure omits§certain intrinsic features of language that lie on§the border between linguistics and literary theory -§and mainly the ability of language to be metaphoric§(in a Paul Ricoeur''s sense) even at the level of its§simplest structural elements.
