Saussure

Here I got some quotes From Saussure and wrote a little about him.

1. Saussure ‘Nothing is a sign , unless it is an interpreted sign ’ Saussure was a Swiss  linguist  and  semiotician. " Language is no longer regarded as peripheral to our grasp of the world we live in, but as central to it .” “ Words are not mere vocal labels or communicational adjuncts superimposed upon an already given order of things” “They are collective products of social interaction, essential instruments through which human beings constitute and articulate their world .” “This typically twentieth-century view of language has profoundly influenced developments throughout the whole range of human sciences” “ Ferdinand Mongin de Saussure was born in  Genevain 1857.  ” Saussure attempted at various times in the 1880s and 1890s to write a book on general linguistic matters . His lectures about important principles of language description in Geneva   According to Saussure, a language is arbitrary because it is systematic in that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
