BADIR, Sémir. Transmission and Reformulation of a Concept. Semio-Critical Study of Tensivity.Translated byVíctor A. Ruiz Ramírez. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2021, n.46, pp.80-100.  Epub Aug 23, 2021. ISSN 2594-0619.

Claude Zilberberg made clear of his intellectual indebtedness to Hjelmslev. That implies, firstly, that he has his own thinking, secondly, that he is helped to shape it by someone else, in this case Hjelmslev (among other writers) and, thirdly, that he might have transmitted some of the Hjelmslev’s concepts in his texts. The first two presumptions are self-evident but what about the third? The hypothesis that we would like to develop in this study is that this transmission supposes a specific discursive gesture, namely a reformulation, and adds an enunciative value to the statement.
