Linguistique Et Phonétique Arabes** (1) by Abderrahmane Hadj Saleh

“…Dans tous les cas, la validité s’obtient par le caractère vérifiable de ces données 2) Distinction entre la structure grammaticale et le code, d’une part, et l’usage qu’on en fait dans des actes d’énonciation, d’autre part. 3) La notion de structure dans cette théorie déborde celle du structura-lisme post-saussurien : la structure est ici le résultat de la synthèse de la classe et de l’ordre. 4) Les unités de la langue ne sont pas nécessairement des segments (ou marginalement des accents). …”
