Encyclopedia > Emile Benveniste

Emile Benveniste (1902 - 1976) was a French linguist best known for his work on Indo-European languages and his work expanding the linguistic paradigm established by Ferdinand de Saussure. Initially a student of Antoine Meillet, he began teaching at the École Pratique des Hautes Études and was elected to the Collège de France a decade later in 1937. He is best remembered today for his Problems in General Linguistics, whose two volume appeared in 1966 and 1974 respectively.

Émile Benveniste - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (519 words)
In Chapter 5, Animal Communication and Human Language, Benveniste refutes behaviourist linguistic interpretations by demonstrating that human speech, unlike the so-called languages of bees and other animals, cannot be merely reduced to a stimulus-response system.
A pivotal concept in Benveniste's work is the distinction between the énoncé and the énonciation, which grew out of his study on pronouns.
The énoncé is the statement independent of context, whereas the énonciation is the act of stating as tied to context.
