Abstract
It was de Saussure, 1916 who first pointed out the difference between the concept of language as a system of sounds formed in the course of history and possessing its own dynamics, and speech as the process of transmission of information with the aid of a language. In such a context, “meaning” is considered as the system of generalizations about reality, represented by words and formed in the course of the social development of language; whereas “sense” denotes those relations which arise in the course of individual development and in which are reflected those aspects of the phenomena to be named.
