Short Incursion into Artistotle’s View of Natural Languages

Abstract

The opinion that the theory of the linguistic sign starts with Ferdinand de Saussure, who defines this unit from a different perspective than the formal perspective adopted by Linguistics or the content perspective, adored by philosophers is not unanimously accepted. More than two millennia ago, Aristotle meditated in nuce on the mechanisms of human language, of the conventional rapport between language and the objects of the outer world, but also on the parts of speech – noun, verb, connectors etc. It is the general objective we start from in our study. Of the derived objectives we propose to study the relationship between language and thought, the status of language in the thinking process, the relationship between language, Logic and knowledge processes etc. The descriptive-linguistic method, the comparative, analytical method are among the research modes used in our study
