This volume, 'Writings in General Linguistics' by Ferdinand de Saussure, presents the original manuscripts discovered in 1996. Edited by Simon Bouquet and Rudolf Engler, these texts offer a direct view into the mind of the father of modern linguistics, unfiltered by the student interpretations that formed the famous 'Course in General Linguistics'. Readers can explore Saussure's core concepts on the sign, system, and value in their nascent form. This collection is an indispensable resource for scholars and students, providing a more authentic and nuanced understanding of the revolutionary ideas that reshaped the study of language in the twentieth century.
