Gustave Guillaume Psychomechanichs of language and Chronogenesis “Language is a dynamic system of thoughts. Not a fixed system of signs.” “Langue” or Language Langue refers to the system of signs used to communicate. The approach is grammatical. “Parole” or Discourse Parole refers to utterances produced by the use of Langue. The approach is pragmatic.

Gustave Guillaume Chronogenesis Representing actions with words The traditional scientific aporia of the many presents The present of the action The present of the witness The present of the utterance The present of the reception This is also possible!

Gustave Guillaume Chronogenesis Representing actions with words The traditional scientific aporia of the many presents has its origin in this representation of time Where several Nows separate the line of Time Into several different Pasts and Futures. Past Future PastFuture

Gustave Guillaume Chronogenesis Instead of analyzing the representation of actions on the sole basis of a pre-determined representation of Time, Guillaume proposes that the representation of actions with words contributes to the representation of Time…

Gustave Guillaume Chronogenesis The formation of the image of time or chronogenesis is observable as a thought process in the activity of the producer of the message. in Possein Fieriin Esse

Gustave Guillaume Chronogenesis The action described by the verb is seen as a tension towards its achievement. The meaning of an occurrence is determined by its position in this process. in Possein Fieriin Esse PossibleProbableActual

Gustave Guillaume Chronogenesis The verb does not only point to the identification of the instant of the action (now) but also to the stage of development in the process of accomplishing the action in Possein Fieriin Esse PossibleProbableActual

Gustave Guillaume Chronogenesis We identify this capacity of the verb as its plasticity. Something very important when coming to translate words into images… in Possein Fieriin Esse To go I will go I am going I will be going I went I will have gone Je me suis couché de bonne heure
