A Baudoin de Courtenay Anthology

The Beginnings of Structural Linguistics

by Jan Baudouin de Courtenay
Contributors: Edward Stankiewicz

One of the earliest structural linguists, Baudouin de Courtenay was a pioneer in systematic phonology and a formative influence on Saussure, Jacobsen, and the Prague school of linguistics. This translation of de Courtenay's major writings gives Western scholars direct contact with his work for the first time.
