Ferdinand de Saussure's 'Course in General Linguistics' is a foundational work in the field of linguistics. Posthumously published by his students Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye, this book compiles Saussure's lecture notes and presents his revolutionary ideas about the nature of language. In it, Saussure introduces key concepts such as the distinction between language and speech, the linguistic sign as a two-sided entity (signifier and signified), and the importance of the synchronic study of language. This edition from Akal Universitaria offers a Spanish translation and notes by Mauro Armiño, facilitating access to this essential work for students and academics of linguistics.
Ferdinand Mongin de Saussure was a Swiss linguist, semiotician and philosopher. His ideas laid a foundation for many significant developments in both linguistics and semiotics in the 20th century. He is widely considered one of the founders of 20th-century linguistics and one of two major founders of semiotics, or semiology, as Saussure called it.
