Ferdinand de Saussure on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
Lyons I 47 Diachronic/linguistics/Saussure: historically descriptive. Synchronic/linguistic: state of a language at a particular point in time. Saussure: Thesis: Synchronic description has priority over diachronic description. E.g. chess: position is decisive. I 48 E.g., For some words the ending s alone is decisive for plural, for others only in context. I 49 Throughout history, the case system in French has been unified. But this knowledge does not matter for the synchronic description. Moreover, a diachronic description requires prior knowledge of the various synchronic states._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
