description: Ferdinand de Saussure is widely recognized as the founder of 20th century linguistic science. His science of signs effected a fundamental reconceptualization of our knowledge about meaning in society, and had a profound impact on the development of modern sociology, anthropology and literary theory. This important collection brings together important articles and provides a critical overview of Saussure's influence on the development of the human sciences in the 20th century. Articles are taken from a broad range of sources and the new editorial introductions guide the reader through the material.
