  Abstract:  It was with Aristotle’s De Interpretatione, or better with the vulgate of his thought, that began the debated question of the arbitrariness of the linguistic sign. A question which, e parte obiecti and e parte subiecti, crossed, without affecting it, through quite twenty centuries. The Aristotelian docet κατα συνθηκην before, which established that the facts of the language were products of the convention, and the final shoot of the Saussure’s thought then, stricken to the materialist conception of the language, saw to it that the paradigm of the arbitrariness continued undisputed to dominate the panorama of the linguistic’ s studies. Sometimes, the linguists who attempted to propose and to advance a new paradigm to contrast to arbitrariness conception of the language, were not only strongly attacked but also immediately forgotten and never consulted. In this work, we are, with the assistance of the illustrious linguists, to give voice to people who supported the so-called paradigm of substance, a conception based upon an approach psycho-biological, which try to give, by paraphrasing Bühler, a phonic face to the words.

Keywords: arbitrariness, motivation, articulatory phonetic, paradigm of substance, sign.
