Synopsis
Edited and produced from the lecture notes of his students at the University of Geneva, the Course in General Linguistics was first published in 1916, three years after its author's death. The book sets out Saussure's theory that all languages share the same underlying structure, regardless of historical or cultural context., Ferdinand de Saussure's Course in General Linguistics is one of the most influential texts of the 20th-century - an astonishing feat for what is, at heart, a series of deeply technical lectures about the structure of human languages. What the Course's vast influence shows, fundamentally, is the power of good interpretative skills. The interpretative tasks of laying down and clarifying definitions are often vital to providing the logical framework for all kinds of critical thinking - whether it be solving problems in business, or esoteric academic research. At the time sat which Saussure gave his lectures, linguistics was a scattered and inconsistent field, without a unified method or rigorous approach. He aimed to change that by setting down and clarifying definitions and distinctions that would provide a coherent methodological framework for the study of language. The terms laid down in the Course did exactly that - and they still make up the core of linguistic terminology a full century later. More than this, however, Saussure also highlighted the centrality of linguistic interpretation to understanding how we relate to the world, founding "semiotics", or the study of signs - a field whose influence on academics across the humanities and social sciences is unparalleled.

    Item is as exactly as described, and arrived just on time, packed well. As others have said, it wasn't exactly shipped at light speed, but it was a really good deal and everything went to plan. Just make sure you don't need the item for a month or so. (My order was placed May 12, with estimated delivery window May 22 - Jun 11. Tracking number was provided Jun 2, with delivery on Jun 11.)

    Seller took over a week to actually ship the product and I’m not sure why, though I’m still inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, I dunno what their staffing situation is like. Regardless, product was exactly as described at a great price, and I have no other complaints.
