Saussure and Chomsky, the two major figures in linguistics of the twentiethcentury and beyond, have often been compared. The collection of bilingualEnglish and French papers of this volume offers different perspectives, defendedby two generations of researchers, on what brings together and distinguishesthe Saussurean and Chomskyan theories. The papers all highlight that the twotheories offer points of convergence, as they are interested in the same humanmanifestation, while divergence emerges from the fact that they build on twodifferent premises about the nature of their object of study. The authors donot always reach similar conclusions but offer thoughts and material that willdefinitely help readers form their own opinion.
