  1. saussure

    Ferdinand de Saussure (1857–1913) was a Swiss linguist and semiotician, considered one of the fathers of 20th-century linguistics and semiotics. His theories laid a foundation for many significant developments in both linguistics and semiology in the 20th century. He is widely recognized for his theory of the structural nature of language, which explains how linguistic elements get their meaning within a system of relationships. The term "Saussure," therefore, refers to the concepts, theories, and academic influence of Ferdinand de Saussure in the field of language and communication studies.

  1. Saussure

    Saussure is a lunar crater. It is located in the crater-riddled terrain in the southern hemisphere of the Moon's near side. Just to the north and nearly attached to the rim is the larger crater Orontius. About a half crater diameter due west is the slightly larger crater Pictet. Just to the east is a curving ridge in the surface, possibly the remains of a crater that has been almost completely overlaid by Saussure. The outer rim of Saussure is worn but relatively intact, with only the southern edge being somewhat disrupted. A small impact lies across the northeastern rim and a pair of craterlets along the western edge. The inner walls are relatively featureless, and slope down to the generally level interior floor. This bottom surface is marked only by a few tiny craters.
