Nevertheless, as the two authors Jaucourt and Beauz{\´e}e did not share completely identic points of view, the comparative lecture of both articles reveals a complementary perspective, particularly relating to the origin of language as a divine gift or humans' creation for communicative needs. A further aspect of divergence concerns the textual composition of the article « Langage » as a structured informative text, and the article « Langue » as a long and freely composed writing including personal remarks by the author. The following article deals with the potential of approaches to the Encyclop{\´e}die in modern linguistics, concretely demonstrated in the comparative analysis of these two articles.}, language = {fr} }
