Course in General Linguistics
Book • 1916
Published posthumously in 1916, 'Course in General Linguistics' is a compilation of notes taken by Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye from Ferdinand de Saussure's lectures at the University of Geneva between 1906 and 1911.
The book is a seminal work in the field of linguistics, introducing key concepts such as the linguistic sign, which consists of the signifier (the form of a word or phrase) and the signified (the concept it represents).
Saussure argues that language should be analyzed as a formal system of differential elements, emphasizing the importance of understanding language as a structured system of differences rather than a mere collection of words and rules.
This work laid the groundwork for structuralism, a dominant approach in the humanities and social sciences in the 20th century.
