Ferdinand de Saussure's 'Course in General Linguistics' is a foundational work in the field of linguistics. Published posthumously in 1916, this book compiles Saussure's lecture notes and presents his revolutionary ideas on the structure of language, including key concepts such as the linguistic sign, the distinction between language and speech, and the focus on the synchronic study of language. This edition from Losada, part of the 'Library of Masterpieces of Thought', offers a valuable introduction to the thought of one of the most influential linguists of the 20th century.

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.
