Ferdinand de Saussure was a Swiss linguist, semiotician, and philosopher who laid the foundation for significant developments in linguistics and semiotics in the 20th century. He is widely recognized as one of the founders of 20th-century linguistics and a key figure in the establishment of semiotics. His work has had a lasting impact on various fields including linguistics, philosophy, psychoanalysis, psychology, sociology, and anthropology.
