Publisher Description
At the end of the 19th century, a group of language specialists--philologists, Slavists, Orientalists--participated in the birth of modern linguistics. In retrospect, as Roman Jakobson has shown, these changes occurred not just in Geneva (where Ferdinand de Saussure was working) but also in Kazan and Moscow, where the concept of the phoneme was being elaborated at the same time.
