Description

According to Roy Harris, Saussure bases his theory of language on circuit de la parole, which is called speech circuit. If Harris is right, then we will need telementation and a fixed code for speech circuit to be realized in linguistic communication. But Harris insists that it is doubtful whether telementation and a fixed code are plausible for successful communication. Nevertheless, this assumption has been passed on since ancient times down to the present day in various forms. So if telementation and a fixed code contradict real communication, then modern linguistics will be forced to be drastically rewritten somehow or other.
