Abstract: ABSTRACT Ferdinand de Saussure, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Émile Benveniste came from different countries and continents; these authors coexisted throughout the 20th century, leaving a significant legacy for linguistic thought-a heritage that continues to shape and influence contemporary academic discourse.
