Ferdinand de Saussure Encyclopedia (1168 words)
Ferdinand de Saussure (pronounced [fÉ›Êdi'nɑ̃ dÉ™ so'syÊ]) (November 26, 1857 – February 22, 1913) was a Geneva-born Swiss linguist whose ideas laid the foundation for many of the significant developments in linguistics in the 20th century.
Saussure's most influential work, Course in General Linguistics (Cours de linguistique générale), was published posthumously in 1916 by former students Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye on the basis of notes taken from Saussure's lectures at the University of Geneva.
However, their expansive interpretations of Saussure's theories, which contained ambiguities to begin with, and their application of those theories to non-linguistic fields of study such as sociology or anthropology, led to theoretical difficulties and proclamations of the end of structuralism in those disciplines.
Ferdinand de Saussure - Wikipedia (358 words)
De Saussure betoogde dat de taalkunde la langue als onderzoeksterrein moest nemen en dus niet het taalgebruik, of het laatste tenminste steeds in verhouding tot het tekensysteem, dat symbolisch en dus volkomen arbitrair is.
De concrete taaluitingen zijn uiteraard relevant, omdat zij onderhevig zijn aan diachrone verandering en de betekenisrelatie dus dynamisch dient te worden opgevat; in dier voege spreekt Saussure van de signifiant, het concreet gerealiseerde teken, en de signifié, het psychologische concept waaraan de signifiant refereert.
Saussure legde de basis voor de moderne structuralistische taalkunde, en vond, althans wat zijn conceptuele voorstelling van de taal betrof, veel navolging in zowel functionele als generativistische hoek.
