| book description |

This is the first English-language guidebook geared at an interdisciplinary audience that reflects relevant scholarly developments related to the legacy and legitimacy ofÂ Ferdinand de Saussure'sÂ CourseÂ in General LinguisticsÂ (1916) today. It critically assesses the relation between materials fromÂ the CourseÂ and from the linguistâ€™s Nachlass (works unpublished or even unknown at Saussureâ€™s death, some of them recently discovered). This book pays close attention to the set of oppositional pairings: the signifier and the signified, la langue (language system) and la parole (speech), and synchrony and diachrony, that became the hallmark of structuralism across the humanities. Sometimes referred to as the â€œSaussurean doctrine,â€ this hierarchical conceptual apparatus becomes revised in favor of a horizontal set of relations, which co-involves speaking subjects and linguistic structures. This book documents the continued relevance of Saussureâ€™s linguistics in the 21st Century, and it sheds light on its legacy within structuralism and phenomenology.Â The reader can consult the book on its own, or in tandem with the 1916 Course.
