Abstract

Most of the nineteenth-century linguists were primarily concerned with the diachronic study of language. De Saussure, however, was concerned with synchronic study of languages, which is characteristic of most of the contemporary linguists. De Saussure’s main objection was to the "Junggrammatiker notion” that restricted the scientific study and investigation of language to its historical aspects. In the twentieth century, this theory implied
that historical considerations are irrelevant to the investigations of particular "temporal States” of language.
