Saussurean

索绪尔式的

Characteristic of, or a follower of, the principles of Ferdinand de Saussure. His conception of language as a system of mutually defining entities was a major influence on several schools of linguistics (e.g. the Prague School, Geneva School, Glossematics), and most of the theoretical distinctions he introduced have become foundations of linguistic study. Chief among these are the notions of langue and parole, syntagmatic and paradigmatic, synchronic and diachronic, and signifiant and signifié.

指体现菲迪南德·德·索绪尔的理论特点的，或指这一理论的追随者。索氏的语言观，即语言是一些互相定义的实体构成的一个系统，对好几个语言学学派产生过重大影响（如布拉格学派，日内瓦学派，语符学），他提出的各种理论上的区分大多已成为语言学研究的基础。其中主要的有这样一些对立概念：语言和言语，组合关系和聚合关系，共时和历时，能指和所指。
