This research presents the thesis that Émile Benveniste aimed at its research theoretically set the language, including in it the human being, society, culture and history. The work of Émile Benveniste in general linguistics, published in two volumes under the title Problèmes de linguistique générale I and II, in 1966 and 1974, respectively, due to the characteristics of the methodology employed by the linguist and his goals along his career, present, in a particular way, a sort of panoramic synthesis of the development of the Linguistic studies during the 20th century. His work aimed to introduce the human aspect in the linguistic studies, which resulted in the elaboration of a broaden methodology regarding the points of view applied to language at that moment. A point of view that includes the human being had to connect the language to the subject, the subjectivity, the society and the culture, besides dealing with the meaning, the communication and the linguistic elements already known by that time. The consequence was a wide diversity of Benveniste’s quest through different schools and currents in the linguistic science. Benveniste undertook an exhaustive scan in the varied points of view of the Linguistics, as well as in other areas of humanities and philosophy, since the theoreticians or the philosophers have treated the human being, the communication or the meaning. Therefore he extended his perspective on the linguistics, but, equally, on the philosophy of language, the anthropology, the sociology, the psychology and the history. Through the Linguistic-Historiography of the two volumes, it was considered the immanence of his work, by listing and by discussing the fundamental concepts, as well his methodology.
