Abstract (italiano)

The paper suggests to go back to the two meaning regimes, the “semiotic” one and the “semantic” one, that Benveniste identifies respectively in the language as system and the language realised
as discourse, in order to broaden their reach and to establish their principle. The paper especially aims at showing that these two regimes must be situated in the wide perspective of a
phenomenology of the sign. In order to do that, we must pass through a morphodynamic formalisation of the saussurian sign, whose phenomenological meaning will be established, through a stratification of the field of verbal conscience. The semiotic and semantic meaning regimes will be thus brought to specific levels
of verbal conscience.
