From my experience of learning linguistics (from Saussure) I found that the signifier is not a phisycal sound but a sound image in our brain (the brain thinks through words). In this video the signifier reffers to (the sound of the letters, it should be specified that (the sound) is not a phonetical one but something else). I find this video interesting though. (sorry for my english, I'm not a native english speaker.)

hmmm! same. I think chomsky makes it clear,. signifier could be held to be lower than mere utterances, something general, like I-language representation that's then externalized into utterances(both sound & text of 'cat' being separate). but then, there's another trouble of having multiple such internal representations & the whole affair quickly gets psychological.

I don’t see how anyone could argue that you can’t have a thought or mental image or idea without a signifier or word. That part seems preposterous. It’s true that you can’t very well _communicate_ an idea without a word (or combination of words) or sign (or combination of signs) for it. But it is obvious that we have many ideas, thoughts, and mental images without any such sign. It is even obvious to me that the majority of our thoughts are of this kind. So there are many more ideas and thoughts than there are signifiers. In order to have a shared sign at all, it has to be assigned to a thought that people can share. Obviously, two people can behold the same cat or touch or otherwise sense the same cat. So the sign - sound “cat” makes perfect sense to everyone. Other concepts can not be referred to that way, because they cannot be seen or sensed directly. For example, a cat has some force that imparts animation to it, which is why we call it an “animal”. Whatever that force is, we can not see it. But certainly, we can see breathing. So we take the Latin name for “breath” and we use it to name that force that imparts animation to a thing. The “spiritus”, the “breath”. We use the language of the shared observation to describe the phenomenon that is not a shared observation. Much of the cleverness of language lies in that ability. In other experiences, no such word is adequate, and for that reason, we have many other art forms. Literature is one, which uses words, but music and visual art do the same thing without words. As do actions. In fact, if words were able to communicate those internal experiences, we would not have those art forms.

If you've ever learned another language, you sometimes come across words and phrases that do not have an exact translation in our own language. What does that mean for Sassure's notion that there is no signified without a signifier, especially in terms of translating terms for something more abstract?

I have one objection. In Part 2 Chapter 1 of the Course in General Linguistics, the Open Court Publication, it states " In practice, a linguistic state occupies not a point in time, but a period of time of varying length, during which the sum total of changes occurring is minimal. It may be ten years, a generation, a century, or even longer. A language may hardly change at all for a long period, only to undergo considerable changes in the next few years." (pg. 99) "One could likewise say that static linguistics is also in this sense concerned with epochs; but the term state is preferable. The beginning and end of an epoch are usually marked by some more or less sudden upheaval which tends to alter the established order. The term state avoids the suggestion that anything like that occurs in a language." (Pg. 100) "So the notion of a linguistic state can only be an approximation." (Pg. 100) My critique is minor in the fact that the video states that synchronic study only occurs at one point in time. Again this detail is minor, but the synchronic structure should be based upon not only a state of time which little alteration occurs, but then comes into play with diachrony slightly just by design. What does that mean? In mathematics they have summations, and where this connects with linguistics are these states in time where the words remain the same to which we can add them up in order to not only determine the etymology of the word, the gymnastics of the linguistic world, but to see the phonological changes (and possibly more) which caused this shift in language. So, my basic critique is the unexplored idea of what synchrony is and can be.
