Abstract

Ferdinand de Saussure is one of the most influence figures in linguistics. His view of linguistics considered as 'new' because of its difference with traditional linguistics i.e. historical linguistics. It is consisted of the study of phonology principal, structural and historical linguistics, etc. After his appearance with those influential ideas, many linguists also appear and use his ideas as the approach in linguistics, such as Leonard Bloomfield, Charles Francis Hockett, Andre Martinet, Edward Sapir, and many more. These people are as many as who oppose him in linguistics. Even so, structural linguistics is still most influence view of linguistics in this era, and the Course in General Linguistics of Saussure has a huge role in it. From the background mentioned above, the writer would like to study about Ferdinand de Saussure, structuralism and his role in modern linguistics. In his study, the writer fully concentrated on Ferdinand de Saussure, structuralism, his view and role in modern linguistics. With this thesis, the writer is willing to know and describe structuralism, and de Saussure's role in modern linguistics. In this thesis, the writer use qualitative research and documentation technique to submit the data related to the research. All data is gained from various books which discuss about Ferdinand de Saussure, structuralism and modern linguistics. Then, the data will be analyzed using descriptive-analytical method, then writing the result of the research. The writer proposed some points of his view after completing his research, those are: 1) Structuralism showed up in 20th century along with the appearance of Course in General Linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure. Even not written by him, this book was the result of his thought when teaching at Geneva University, this book was judged as the revolution of language. 2) Structural linguistics does its research by its structure and not from its history, for him, language is an organized system and we must differ between langue as individual language and parole as the individual act of communication. 3) The principles of linguistics which proposed by Ferdinand de Saussure suggest new method of language research and different from historical approach which used before this view appear. Those are several points which discussed by the writer in his thesis. It hoped to the next researchers if they want to discuss about structuralism they can discuss it deeper and more developed than what the writer wrote in his thesis.
