title = "Ferdinand de Saussure",
abstract = "This chapter is one of a series of interviews with leading scholars on individual figures and movements in the history of linguistics. Ferdinand de Saussure was the founder of the field in its modern form, and the chapter considers the nature of his work and its relationship to that which preceded and followed it. It maintains that there is an economy of originality in academic work which regulates the balance between originality and continuity, and that Saussure's work is extraordinary in how it operates that economy.",
