Saussure | Ferdinand de Saussure | Nicolas-Théodore de Saussure | Horace-Bénédict de Saussure |
De Saussure (1857–1913) follows this logocentric line of thought in the development of his linguistic sign and its terminology.
de Saussure's notion of concepts as purely differential: "non pas positivement par leur contenu, mais negativement par leurs rapports avec les autres termes du systeme" p. 162; not positively, in terms of their content, but negatively by contrast with other terms in the same system (tr. Harris 83).
