Abstract
Ferdinand de Saussure (1857–1913) is often considered to be the founder of modern linguistics. Indeed, several branches of language study – including the fields of “structural linguistics,” the “Geneva School,” and “semiotics” – owe much of their conception to him. Along with contemporaries like Freud and Durkheim, Saussure moved intellectual thought toward a focus on looking at unconscious patterns and underlying systems rather than on individual cases and overt behavior.
