[简介]本节节选自费尔迪南·德·索绪尔的《普通语言学札记》一书,系作者对其在日内瓦和莱比锡的求学生涯的回忆。这段内容反映了青年索绪尔对语言学问题的某些看法,特别是对印欧语中成节鼻辅音问题的早期研究,以及围绕这一问题与青年语法学派的布鲁格曼、奥斯特霍夫等人之间的优先权争议。通过对上述事件的叙述和评论,作者表达了无可奈何的情绪以及对青年语法学派的微微嘲讽。 [INTRODUCTION] This section is taken from the book “General Linguistics” by Ferdinand de Saussure, the author’s memory of his educational career in Geneva and Leipzig. This section reflects some of Saussure’s views on linguistic issues, especially the early studies on the consonant and nasal consonants in Indo-European languages, and Brugman and Austrian The dispute over the priority between Stelhof and others. Through the narration and comment on the above events, the author expressed helpless emotions and slight sarcasm on the school of the young grammar.
