About this title

Synopsis

The twentieth century saw the rise of so many literary theories in the West which grew up and developed under the profound influence of Saussurean linguistics presented in the seminal work of the Course in General Linguistics (1916). The influence is actually constituted by the basic conceptions of Saussurean linguistics. This book aims at presenting each of the Saussurean basic conceptions, displaying how these conceptions have been applied to the literary theories, and analyzing the causes of the impact. This book will be useful to those who are interested in both Saussurean linguistics and its impact on literary theories.
