'Sciences et philosophie', pp.205-214. En quoi peut consister une entreprise de connaissance en matière de signe et de sens, et en quoi ressemble-t-elle, ou se distingue-t-elle, de celles qui ont cours dans d'autres disciplines que l'on dit empiriques, en ceci que leur objet leur est pour partie donné sous formes d'observables qu'il s'agit pour elles de comprendre ? Pour commencer de répondre à cette question, il peut être utile de rappeler l'un des schémas épistémologiques les plus communément reçus et faisant référence pour les sciences théoriques expérimentales.........

The paper takes as a starting point certain principles of phenomenology and of the gestaltist theory of Forms, which is here further extended using the mathematical concept of instability, in order to transpose them into the framework of a general theory of semantic forms. Thus one distinguishes three ‘levels’ or ‘phases’ of meaning, called motifs, profiles, and themes, which co-exist in the semantic organization, and in the interpretation activity. Linguistic motifs, which are principles of a morphemic nature, committed in the formation of the lexical and grammatical units, appear as chaotic and/or unstable germs of meaning. Profiles refer to the processes of differential stabilization of lexemes, which define each other within semantic fields, and at the same time through reciprocal determination in syntagm (partially recorded in grammar as well as in idiomatic phraseology). These stabilization processes constitutionally depend on an inextricably linguistic, semiotic, and situational (indexical) thematization movement, in which they are performed, but without necessarily being totally absorbed. The question of polysemy can then be redistributed among these three ‘phases’ of meaning. This method is applied here to the analysis of a series of nouns of basic French.
