The reality Saussure mentioned is not what Benveniste understood as a thing in the objective world, but the linguistic fact in the consciousness of speakers, the psychological reality. Similarly, all the phonatory behaviors can become phonatory realities only when they appear in the acoustic image of speakers. Instead of investigating the reference relation between “word” and “thing”, Saussure focused on the arbitrary relation between “word” and “meaning” and the difference relation between "word” and “word”. The concept and the acoustic image are both the facts of pure consciousness, and can make up a totality, but such characteristics do not exist between the sound I image and the thing. The totality established by the relationship between the concept and the acoustic image is far more complete. The reality is the unity of a value, a unit, and an identity. The relation between the concept and the acoustic image is arbitrary. The arbitrary relation opens I up an infinite possibility for the linguistic sign. The difference relation between “word" and “word" has an unlimited potential for meaning and value, while the reference relation between “word” and “thing” ignores the relation between “word” and “word”, and therefore eludes the general law of signs. That explains why Saussure eliminated the thing and the objective reality from the linguistic semiology.

索绪尔语言学理论的继承与批判. /c王铭玉, 于鑫. // Foreign language teaching and research. 2013, Vol. 45, No.3. // 外语教学与研究 2013, 第45卷.第3期

The past century (1913-2013) has witnessed the development of modem linguistics with research focus on the inheritance and criticism of Saussure’s theories. The basic linguistic concepts developed by Saussure and his insights into the nature of linguistics exerted seminal influence on modern linguistics and proved to be a major theoretical origin of structuralism. However, the development of linguistics in its due course has given rise to doubts about Saussure’s theories which include, among others, the "homogenized” research methodology, the view of linguistic signs, the structuralist approach to linguistics, the relation between language and word formation as well as the object and methodology in the study of grammar. The present research reveals that Saussure’s profound insights and integrated theoretical systems still hold great significance while his major claims and methodology call for further exploration. Challenges against Saussure are, meanwhile, of positive importance in that they have ushered linguistics research in an era of multi- dimensional pluralism.
