Saussure Theory of Associative ValueInfluence of Saussure
As mentioned by waterman, “Saussure’s influence upon subsequent linguistic theory has understandably been of
major importance. Indeed in Western world at any rate, all hues of structuralism have come under his influence.
The Copenhagen SchoolThe Prague SchoolThe London School
The American School

Saussure’s fountain principle is his notion of double entity. Everything in language can be defined in double terms: •The duality of sound and meaning;•The duality of the langue and parole;•The duality of Syntagmatic and Paradigmatic;•The duality of Synchronic and Diachronic.
