The Cambridge Companion to Saussure

December 2004
Available
Paperback
9780521804868
    Description

    This Companion offers an original new account of Ferdinand de Saussure, widely considered to be the founder of modern Linguistics as well as Structuralism. In addition to looking at his pioneering Course in General Linguistics, contributors consider his lesser-known early work, more recently-discovered manuscripts, and influence on other disciplines such as cultural studies, philosophy, literature and semiotics. With contributions by specialists in each field, this comprehensive guide creates a unique picture of the lasting importance of Saussure's thought.

    • Offers an up-to-date overview of all Saussure's work including both the 'course in general linguistics' and his more recently discovered work
    • The assessments of Saussure's influence on a range of fields are given by leading specialists from around the world
    • Represents the reception of Saussure in an English-speaking intellectual tradition as well as making available perspectives from other traditions

    Reviews & endorsements

    "This book offers varied perspectives, including discussions of Saussure and American linguists, and the Russian critique. Both the essays and the extensive bibliography will be useful to scholars in linguists and related fields." CHOICE

    English Language and Linguistics

    : Journal

    English Language and Linguistics, published three times a year, is an international journal which focuses on the description of the English language within the framework of contemporary linguistics. The journal is concerned equally with the synchronic and the diachronic aspects of English language studies and publishes articles of the highest quality which make a substantial contribution to our understanding of the structure and development of the English language and which are informed by a knowledge and appreciation of linguistic theory. English Language and Linguistics carries articles and short discussion papers or squibs on all core aspects of English, from its beginnings to the present day, including syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, pragmatics, corpus linguistics and lexis. There is also a major review section including, from time to time, articles that give an overview of current research in particular specialist areas. Occasional issues are devoted to a special topic, when a guest editor is invited to commission articles from leading specialists in the field.
