«Curso de lingüística general» is the linguistics essay by Ferdinand de Saussure, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Collects the lectures given by Ferdinand de Saussure at the University of Geneva and compiled by his disciples. Considered a landmark of 20th-century linguistics, it introduces concepts such as the linguistic sign, the distinction between langue and parole, the signifier/signified pair, and the synchronic and diachronic approaches to language.
Work published posthumously in 1916 from Saussure's class notes; the Alianza edition includes translation, prologue and notes by Amado Alonso.
For students of linguistics and social sciences and readers interested in language theory.
Ferdinand Mongin de Saussure was a Swiss linguist, semiotician and philosopher. His ideas laid a foundation for many significant developments in both linguistics and semiotics in the 20th century. He is widely considered one of the founders of 20th-century linguistics and one of two major founders of semiotics, or semiology, as Saussure called it.
