Benveniste and the issue of linguistic temporality. Time of enunciation and its relationship to Bergson and Husserl’s ideas of time

The problem of time and its representation through the language is present on several occasions in the writings of general linguistics of Benveniste, ranging from 1956 to 1970. Time is located at the center of the enunciative issue and, in its "present" form, is inextricably linked to the position and perspective of the speaking subject. It is precisely in reference to the different aggregations of temporal forms that Benveniste also proposes the famous dichotomy between "history" and "discourse". But Benveniste's perspective expands beyond linguistic reflection, also taking into consideration the philosophical conception of time. In this context, it is possible to read in a watermark a reference to the contemporary theories of Bergson and Husserl.
