Résumé:In this paper A. Martinet’s theory on the dynamic character of language synchrony as well as its impact on diachrony are discussed. On the grounds of language data Martinet indicates that variation and language change constitute the dynamics of synchrony which also explain language change on diachronic level. Synchronic dynamics makes a constant systematic process of certain synchronic structures toward convergence or divergence. Thus Martinet – early among the first linguists – rejects the « static » character which was attributed to synchrony by Saussure. Instead, he describes and explains the (convergent or divergent) mechanisms in structure and change of language systems on their transition from synchronic to diachronic stages.
