The research is entitled as " Word meaning between Ferdinand de Saussure and M.A.K. Halliday. It is concerned with the meaning of the word due to these two linguists who are in the same school but each has different views about the analysis of the meaning of the word. Saussure is considered as the pioneer of the structural school, clarifies the meaning of the word by analyzing the linguistic symbol, then links it with dual "langue" and "parol" which are not separate from each other and the relation between them are random. This process makes the relation between speech and meaning as symbol. The symbol is a basic unit in this relation because the symbol is a part of the language. The symbol is also a mental unit. So Saussure sees that language is a symbolic system. But Halliday who is the pioneer of the functional school, analyses the meaning of the word in light of both these units .This idea has been appeared in the sixties which deals with the meaning of the context of both through both words with each other.This research generally deals with the level of semantics and it is concerned with the way of the analysis of the meaning of the word.
