普通语言学:理论与流派

《普通语言学:理论与流派》内容简介：Linguistics as an independent subject is relatively young in the tradi-tional sphere of humanities. The subject in the modern sense is believed tohave started from Saussure, the man who for the first time made a systemicinvestigation of the structure and function of language, therefore his work seta borderline between philology and linguistics. Philology is a cover term forthe traditional approach of linguistic study. It is biased towards the histori-cal interpretation of language with which classical documents are under-stood. This is true to scholars in both China and European continent of theclassical times. It is the birth of linguistics that the studY deviates from thephilological approach and is done in the ontological sense, namely, lan-guage is studied in its own right.
