Description
Ferdinand de Saussure's Course in General Linguistics is a foundational text that laid the groundwork for modern linguistics and beyond. This critical edition, first published in English, presents Saussure's groundbreaking principles of semiology, or the theory of the signifier, signified, and sign.
Restored to its original translation by Wade Baskin, this edition provides a clear and accessible introduction to Saussure's work, including his shift from mimesis to performance in reference theory and expansion of poetics to encompass all media. An introduction situates Saussure within the history of ideas, while new endnotes provide further context on literary criticism, cultural studies, and philosophy.
Published in 2011, this edition offers a unique opportunity for readers to engage with one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. With its rich historical and theoretical insights, Course in General Linguistics remains an essential work for scholars and students of language, literature, and culture alike.
