The deciphering of Hittite by Bedrich Hrozny vindicated his early laryngeal theory, which he set down in his "Memoir on the Original System of Vowels in the Indo-European Languages".
The deciphering of Hittite by Bedrich Hrozny vindicated his early laryngeal theory, which he set down in his "Memoir on the Original System of Vowels in the Indo-European Languages". He made the distinction between synchronic and diachronic systems and introduced the terms "parole" and "langue". In his most famous work he uses the words "twenty-one" and "thirty- one" and different instances of the word "Gentlemen!" to demonstrate his theory of the signifier. That work was created through the efforts of Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye, his students. For 10 points, name this Swiss pseudo-author of Course in General Linguistics and the founder of linguistic Structuralism.
