Course in General Linguistics by Ferdinand la Saussure, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Cours de linguistique generale, reconstructed from students' notes after Saussure's death in 1913, founded modern linguistic theory by breaking the study of language free from a merely historical and comparativist approach. Saussure's new method, now known as Structuralism, has since been applied to such diverse areas as art, architecture, folklore, literary criticism, and philosophy. | Course in General Linguistics by Ferdinand la Saussure, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
