Paul Ricoeur on Message - Dictionary of Arguments

II 3
Langue/parole/code/Saussure/Ricoeur: Langue is the code - or the set of codes - on the basis of which a particular speaker produces parole as a particular message. To this main dichotomy are connected several subsidiary distinctions. A message is individual, its code is collective.
(Strongly influenced by Durkheim, Saussure considered linguistics to be a branch of sociology .) The message and the code do not belong to time in the same way.
A message is a temporal event in the succession of events which constitute the diachronic dimension of time, while the code is in time as a set of contemporaneous elements, i.e., as a synchronic system. A message is intentional; it is meant by someone.
The code is anonymous and not intended. In this sense it is unconscious, not in the sense that drives and impulses are unconscious according to Freudian metapsychology, but in the sense of a nonlibidinal structural and cultural unconscious. >Parole/Ricoeur.
