Summary/Abstract: Our essay revisits Saussure’s frame regarding the concept of value and its implications in the field of semantic changes, proper and figurate meaning, as well as synonyms. We follow a critical examination of the concept of value, as used by Saussure in order to define meaning. A brief discussion regarding linguistic alterity as well as the mutability and immutability of signs will be carried on.
