Abstract

This article reflects on the formation of the linguist, based on Saussure’s observations presented in his 1903 manuscript known as Souvenirs. From his childhood and youth memories, the Genevan linguist takes up significant elements of his education. In this article, we prioritize some aspects of these memories that were addressed to a colleague, the German linguist Wilhelm Streitberg, and we discuss the status of these aspects in the formation of the linguist.
Keywords: Ferdinand de Saussure. Linguist. Manuscript. Memories. Linguistics.
