Course in General Linguistics

Ferdinand de Saussure

Sinopse

The founder of modern linguistics, Ferdinand de Saussure inaugurated semiology, structuralism, and deconstruction and made possible the work of Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Lacan, thus enabling the development of French feminism, gender studies, New Historicism, and postcolonialism. Based on Saussure's lectures, Course in General Linguistics (1916) traces the rise and fall of the historical linguistics in which Saussure was trained, the synchronic or structural linguistics with which he replaced it, and the new look of diachronic linguistics that followed this change. Most important, Saussure presents the principles of a new linguistic science that includes the invention of semiology, or the theory of the "signifier," the "signified," and the "sign" that they combine to produce.This is the first critical edition of Course in General Linguistics to appear in English and restores Wade Baskin's original translation of 1959, in which the terms "signifier" and "signified" are introduced into English in this precise way. Baskin renders Saussure clearly and accessibly, allowing readers to experience his shift of the theory of reference from mimesis to performance and his expansion of poetics to include all media, including the life sciences and environmentalism. An introduction situates Saussure within the history of ideas and describes the history of scholarship that made Course in General Linguistics legendary. New endnotes enlarge Saussure's contexts to include literary criticism, cultural studies, and philosophy.

Accelerated Learning - How You...

John Gamberini

If you’re worried about your memory loss potentially leading to Alzheimer's or dementia, then this will be the most important message you ever read. Did you know memory loss can occur for up to 15 years before you notice any issues? But once the issues do appear it’s often too late because memory decline happens rapidly, often in a matter of months. In fact, the American Alzheimer’s Association estimates that one in nine Americans will suffer from Alzheimer’s in their lifetime. And then there’s dementia - which is set to increase 40 percent by 2025. Perhaps most worrying though is that many doctors completely underestimate the effects, often writing off signs of memory damage as “senior moments”. Genetics play a part, but according to a study at The University of Pittsburgh, up to 80 percent of our brain aging process is down to lifestyle. Now, the good news is you probably don’t have Alzheimer's. In fact, it’s likely there is nothing wrong with you. But if you’re over 40 and have experienced irritating memory lapses - there are ways to prevent and even reverse early stage memory loss. And they don’t involve expensive drugs or “new-age” treatments. And while other books only discuss adding coconut oil to your diet or doing sudoku daily - this simply isn’t enough. Your brain is made up of several areas, and each one of these needs to be healed. If this all sounds complicated - don’t worry, it’s merely a case of making a few small, consistent changes to your daily routine. In this book you will discover: The hidden signs your memory is fading What you should know before you take huge amounts of Vitamin E to improve your memory How to use cooking to prevent memory loss Why fish oil isn't the best memory supplement A simple formula you can use to determine whether you’re getting enough exercise to maintain mental health
