Summary/Abstract: Since the first Guillaumian conference in 1966, André Jacob has kept warning linguists against an improper use of the root « psycho » in « psychomechanics ». Thus, he was led to justify the idea of signifying mechanics contributing to a general theorization of the human condition. However, the promotion of linguistic mechanics constitutes a revolution against the metaphysics of a Cogito still precious to Guillaume. Futhermore, the localization of tongue in a constant Instant no doubt relates its reiterated capability of instanciations to an instanciality irreducible to the instantization of data processing. Lastly, the process of symbolization, while admitting of the theoretical dimension of tongue, confirms its status at the heart of the human condition in a post-humboldtian and post-metaphysical way.
