Le signifiant, dans la théorie saussurienne du signe, est la forme concrète, perceptible à l'oreille (l'image acoustique), qui renvoie à un concept, le signifié. C'est donc un son ou une suite de sons, qui peuvent être représentés secondairement par des symboles graphiques. Le signifiant linguistique est toujours linéaire, c'est-à-dire que ses éléments se succèdent et ne sauraient être simultanés. 2, record 5, French, - signifiant
