Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) is widely recognized as the founder of twentieth-century language science. In his lifetime he published an important work on Indo-European philology but it was his Course in General Linguistics, published posthumously in 1916, that paved the way for a genuinely scientific theory of language based on a system of mutually defining entities. This title meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a vast scholarly literature.
