| |
− | He [[symbolises]] this [[impossibility]] by inscribing a [[bar]] between them in the [[Saussurean algorithm]].

| |
− | ==Point de Capiton==
| |
− | The [[signified]] [[slip]]s and [[slide]]s under the [[bar]] of the [[Saussurean algorithm]] in a continuous movement, a movement which is only temporarily detained by the ''[[points de capiton]]''.<ref>{{E}} p.154</ref>
