In fact, he is considered as a subject for handbooks of History of<br>Linguistics, not at all as a reference for actual debate in philosophy of<br>language. Nonetheless, this issue of RIFL will present Saussure as a<br>philosopher of language. Namely, we are interested in the relation between<br>language faculty (biologically rooted) and languages/les langues (as the<br>fundamental, but not the only, semiological objects), and in how this<br>relation determines human nature. This perspective on Saussure as a<br>philosopher (of language) is not shared by many historians of linguistics<br>(who think that Saussure’s legacy is once and for all circumscribed),<br>neither by mainstream philosophers of language (who would deny to Saussure<br>every relevance for their studies). We think they all are mistaken. <br>The aim of this issue of RIFL is that of testing the impact of a saussurean<br>approach on the main themes of contemporary philosophy of language, as: <br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>relation between language and mind, language and cognition, language and<br>emotions and language and body<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>language(s) acquisition<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>social and institutional nature of language<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>relation between language and other definitional characters of human being<br>The manuscripts should have a theoretical rather than an experimental focus.<br>Papers from the following areas are accepted: philosophy of language,<br>semiotics, history of philosophy, anthropology, sociology and social<br>sciences, psychology, neuroscience.<br>Submissions may be in Italian, English, French, German, Spanish and Russian.<br>All submissions must be prepared for blind review. The author's name, the<br>institutional affiliation and the title’s paper must be placed in a separate<br>file. Papers must be sent as Microsoft Word file (.doc or .rtf)<br>to:segreteria.rifl@gmail.com<br><br>Instructions for authors<br>Max length:<br>40000 characters (including spaces) for articles (included bibliography);<br>20000 characters (including spaces) for interviews;<br>10000 characters (including spaces) for reviews.<br><br>Deadline submission: 15th October 2010<br>Notification of acceptance:15th November 2010<br> Final version due: 9th December 2010<br>Issue publication:December 2010<br>For further informations:<br><a href="http://www.rifl.unical.it">www.rifl.unical.it</a><br>info.rifl@unical.it<br><br>*****<br>Appel de soumissions – Rivista Italiana di Filosofia del Linguaggio<br>Numéro 3, December 2010: Saussure en tant que philosophe du langage<br>Ferdinand de Saussure est connu presque partout (mais très peu travaillé) en<br>tant que linguiste, et par rapport au Cours de linguistique générale, un<br>ouvrage à laquelle la plupart des savants n’est disposée à accorder qu’une<br>signification historique liée au siècle dernier. Il n’est pas du tout (ou<br>presque) envisagé en tant qu’auteur ayant son importance par rapport aux<br>problèmes actuels du langage, et de la philosophie. Ce numéro de RIFL, tout<br>au contraire, vise au Saussure philosophe (du langage et des langues), et<br>notamment (mais pas d’une façon exclusive) au rapport entre le langage<br>(faculté enraciné dans notre biologie) et les langues (en tant qu’objets<br>paradigmatiques d’une sémiologie). Ce choix ne plaira beaucoup, peut être, à<br>ces historiens des sciences du langage qui croient avoir compris une fois<br>pour tout la valeur de Saussure et son héritage, ni aux philosophes du<br>langage partisans du mainstream, qui ne comptent pas Saussure parmi leur<br>points de repère. Nous sommes convaincus qu’ils se trompent. <br>Ce numéro de RIFL sera donc consacré à vérifier l’approche saussurien par<br>rapport aux questions principales de la philosophie du langage actuelle,<br>comme par exemple:<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>relation du langage avec la pensée/esprit, le corps et les émotions<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>apprentissage du langage (ou bien des langues)<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>dimension sociale et institutionnelle du langage et des langues<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>relation entre la faculté du langage et les autres traits définitoires de<br>l’être humain <br>On demande des contributions ayant une nature théorique plutôt<br>qu’expérimentale, concernant une ou plusieurs des perspectives<br>disciplinaires suivantes: philosophie du langage, sémiotique, histoire de la<br>philosophie, anthropologie, sociologie, sciences sociales, psychologie et<br>neurosciences.<br>On acceptera des soumissions en italien, anglais, français, allemand,<br>espagnol et russe. Afin de faciliter le processus de révision à l’aveugle,<br>il faudra notifier le(s) nom(s) de(s) auteur(s) et l’affiliation<br>institutionnelle sur un fichier différent.
