LINGUIST
Swiss linguist and semiotician, his ideas laid a foundation for many
significant developments in both linguistics and semiology in the
20th century.
He is the father of structuralism. In 1916, his cours de linguistique

main ideas of structuralism were formulated.
He also formulated several principles of linguistic analysis which
have become the tenets of modern linguistics.
