Communication adaptation, variation and articulation are all features of men’s vocality, which is primarily significative voice. Every way of speaking or communicating is a response to the stimuli by the physical and socio-cultural environment. The job of a dialectologist cannot therefore be reduced to the decodification of secret words or to the collection and observation of data. This inevitably brings about the emergence of the semiotic issue of dialect (also contemporary zoosemiotics has shown evidence for cases of dialectal variation in communication by non-human animals), but it also raises the question of epistemological dialectology in an attempt to overcome certain disciplinary barriers. In order to do this, we shall have a closer look at such masters of linguistics as Saussure (with special reference to those texts remained unpublished for a long time) and Hjelmslev.

Abstract
Communication adaptation, variation and articulation are all features of men’s vocality, which is primarily significative voice. Every way of speaking or communicating is a response to the stimuli by the physical and socio-cultural environment. The job of a dialectologist cannot therefore be reduced to the decodification of secret words or to the collection and observation of data. This inevitably brings about the emergence of the semiotic issue of dialect (also contemporary zoosemiotics has shown evidence for cases of dialectal variation in communication by non-human animals), but it also raises the question of epistemological dialectology in an attempt to overcome certain disciplinary barriers. In order to do this, we shall have a closer look at such masters of linguistics as Saussure (with special reference to those texts remained unpublished for a long time) and Hjelmslev.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
