On the Core Thoughts of Saussure’s Linguistic Theory --Take the Popular Network Structure “X Li X Qi” as an Example

Abstract

As the father of modern linguistics, Saussure puts forward the core ideas of linguistics, such as arbitrariness, the diff erences between synchronic and diachronic reseaches, sentagmatic relation and associative relation, which have a profound infl uence on the linguistics research of later generations. This paper will be combined with the study case on the emerging network popular structure “X Li X Qi” to discuss these three core ideas.
