We here provide a presentation and edition of 21 letters from the correspondence of Émile Benveniste and Roman Jakobson between 1947 and 1968. This correspondence shows the closeness of the two linguists, who met occasionally, read each other’s work and kept each other informed of their scientific activity (which goes beyond linguistics since it extends to the fields of poetics, folklore and mythology). Beyond that, these letters provide documentation on the history of European and American structuralism, intellectual networks, and the circulation of ideas between Europe and America in the post-World War II period.
