Abstract

In this paper we discuss the relation between language and culture in Benveniste’s work in order to point out its contribution to the humanities. Firstly, we consider the debates concerning language and man, language and society, and language and culture, mainly the ones proposed in Problems in General Linguistics I and II. Subsequently, we examine specifically the relation between language and culture considering texts in which the linguist proposes linguistics analysis. Thus, we selected the text “Religion and superstition”, published in Indo-European Language and Society II, and the text “The Notion of ‘Rhythm’ in its Linguistic Expression”, published in Problems in General Linguistics I. Finally, we indicate a contribution of Benveniste’s work to the humanities.
