Ferdinand De Saussure Quotes

The first of these phases is that of grammar, invented by the Greeks and carried on unchanged by the French. It never had any philosophical view of a language as such Picture Quote #1
The business, task or object of the scientific study of languages will if possible be 1) to trace the history of all known languages. Naturally this is possible only to a very limited extent and for very few languages Picture Quote #1
It is one of the aims of linguistics to define itself, to recognise what belongs within its domain. In those cases where it relies upon psychology, it will do so indirectly, remaining independent Picture Quote #1
A language presupposes that all the individual users possess the organs Picture Quote #1
The connection between the signifier and the signified is arbitrary Picture Quote #1
Time changes all things; there is no reason why language should escape this universal law Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
Without language, thought is a vague, uncharted nebula Picture Quote #1
Henceforth, language studies were no longer directed merely towards correcting grammar Picture Quote #1
Written forms obscure our view of language. They are not so much a garment as a disguise Picture Quote #1
It is only since linguistics has become more aware of its object of study, i.e. perceives the whole extent of it, that it is evident that this science can make a contribution to a range of studies that will be of interest to almost anyone Picture Quote #1
A linguistic system is a series of differences of sound combined with a series of differences of ideas Picture Quote #1
Everyone, left to his own devices, forms an idea about what goes on in language which is very far from the truth Picture Quote #1

Whitney wanted to eradicate the idea that in the case of a language we are dealing with a natural faculty; in fact, social institutions stand opposed to natural institutions Picture Quote #1
In general, the philological movement opened up countless sources relevant to linguistic issues, treating them in quite a different spirit from traditional grammar; for instance, the study of inscriptions and their language. But not yet in the spirit of linguistics Picture Quote #1
Speech has both an individual and a social side, and we cannot conceive of one without the other Picture Quote #1
In the lives of individuals and societies, language is a factor of greater importance than any other. For the study of language to remain solely the business of a handful of specialists would be a quite unacceptable state of affairs Picture Quote #1
Linguistics will have to recognise laws operating universally in language, and in a strictly rational manner, separating general phenomena from those restricted to one branch of languages or another Picture Quote #1
Of all social institutions language is least amenable to initiative. It blends with the life of society, and the latter, inert by nature, is a prime conservative force Picture Quote #1

It is useful to the historian, among others, to be able to see the commonest forms of different phenomena, whether phonetic, morphological or other, and how language lives, carries on and changes over time Picture Quote #1
Language furnishes the best proof that a law accepted by a community is a thing that is tolerated and not a rule to which all freely consent Picture Quote #1
Within speech, words are subject to a kind of relation that is independent of the first and based on their linkage: these are syntagmatic relations, of which I have spoken Picture Quote #1
The critical principle demanded an examination, for instance, of the contribution of different periods, thus to some extent embarking on historical linguistics Picture Quote #1
Outside speech, the association that is made in the memory between words having something in common creates different groups, series, families, within which very diverse relations obtain but belonging to a single category: these are associative relations Picture Quote #1
Nearly all institutions, it might be said, are based on signs, but these signs do not directly evoke things Picture Quote #1
