摘　　要：This paper elaborates on some of Saussure’s reflections on the structure of signs,and the role these signs play in the constitution of conscious thought.In the notes of La double essence,Saussure argued that the sign “creates” and “guides” thought,but as part of a reflection that is both complex and hesitant.To clarify this position and examine its relevance,we first analyze the general conception of the status of signs and semiotics,that Saussure developed in his Course II.We then examine the way in which,in the twentieth century,the problem of how human thought is constituted was tackled by Piaget and Vygotsky.Finally,drawing on the notes of La double Essence,we try to highlight the arguments that led Saussure to adopt the position quoted below,and we will show how Saussure’s approach provides decisive arguments in support of the social interactionist position inherited from Vygotsky.
