Eugenio Coseriu’s scientific work revolves around two main “obsessions”: defending the indissolubility
of the linguistic and philosophical dimensions of theorization on language; and
the insistence on establishing systematic differentiations. With regard to both fixations, this
work shows the extent to which Sincronía, diacronía e historia is much more than a simple
treatise about the problem of linguistic change; it must rather be described as the key work
when it comes to unraveling the principles that underpin the philosophical-scientific edifice
of Coserian linguistic theory. For this purpose, our analysis has focused on the degree to
which Coseriu’s interest in differentiation finds its roots in philosophy, additionally examining
what aspects of Coseriu’s linguistic thinking, what argumentation procedures and what
essential categorizations and concepts of his linguistic theorization originate in issues of a
philosophical nature mainly associated not with philosophy of language, but with philosophy
of Linguistics.
