Through a detailed re-reading of Saussure's work in the light of
contemporary developments in the human, life and physical sciences,
Paul Thibault provides us with the means to redefine and refocus
our theories of social meaning-making.
Saussure's theory of language is generally considered to be a
formal theory of abstract sign-types and sign-systems, separate
from our individual and social practices of making meaning. In this
challenging book, Thibault presents a different view of Saussure.
Paying close attention to the original texts, including the "Cours
de Linguistic Generale, " he demonstrates that Saussure was
centrally concerned with trying to formulate a theory of how
meanings are made. In addition to demonstrating the continuing
viability of Saussure's thinking through a range of examples,
"Re-reading Saussure" makes an important intervention in
contemporary linguistic and semiotic debate.
