Glossematics

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glossematik ("combination of glossemes ") is the name for a language theory that was founded by Louis Hjelmslev and Hans Jørgen Uldall in the Copenhagen School .

description

The glossematics counts as a continuation and differentiation of the basic principles for structural language analysis presented by Ferdinand de Saussure . She looks at the relationship between the elements of expression and content (glossemes) achieved through abstraction, and she investigates the sounds of speech ( phonology ) and the relationship between linguistic signs and reality ( semantics ).
