summary
One of the earliest structural linguists, Baudouin de Courtenay was a pioneer in systematic phonology and a formative influence on Saussure, Jacobsen, and the Prague school of linguistics. This translation of de Courtenay's major writings gives Western scholars direct contact with his work for the first time. (Indiana University Studies in the History and Theory of Linguistics)
