Description
Saussure and Chomsky, the two major figures in linguistics of the twentieth
century and beyond, have often been compared. The collection of bilingual
English and French papers of this volume offers different perspectives, defended
by two generations of researchers, on what brings together and distinguishes
the Saussurean and Chomskyan theories. The papers all highlight that the two
theories offer points of convergence, as they are interested in the same human
manifestation, while divergence emerges from the fact that they build on two
different premises about the nature of their object of study. The authors do
not always reach similar conclusions but offer thoughts and material that will
definitely help readers form their own opinion.
