Abstract
This paper examines two letters and two visit cards written between 1904 and 1908 by Ferdinand de Saussure to his colleague Max Niedermann. This correspondence, so far unpublished, is preserved in the Niederman Fund of the Public and University Library (BPU) in Neuchâtel. The analysis focuses mainly on the letter written on the 18th of July 1904, where Saussure addresses, albeit briefly, some methodological issues on the correct formulation of phonetic changes, anticipating to Niedermann a crucial aspect of his theoretical thought, i.e. the distinction between the synchronic and diachronic order.| Campo DC | Valore | Lingua |

| dc.description.note | L’articolo porta all’attenzione della comunità scientifica saussuriana quattro documenti inediti – due lettere e due carte di visita – scoperti dalla sottoscritta durante un soggiorno di studio presso la Bibliothèque publique et universitaire di Neuchâtel. Questi documenti non solo arricchiscono l’archivio del padre fondatore della linguistica moderna, ma offrono una prospettiva privilegiata sul processo di elaborazione teorica di Ferdinand de Saussure. In particolare, la lettera del 18 luglio 1904 getta luce sulla riflessione saussuriana relativa alla definizione del mutamento fonetico e sulla distinzione metodologica tra asse sincronico e asse diacronico, anticipando concetti chiave del Cours de linguistique générale. Inoltre, le lettere testimoniano una terminologia “preliminare” che evolverà nei celebri neologismi “sincronia” e “diacronia”, offrendo uno spaccato unico del suo pensiero in formazione. | en |
