Reconstructed from lectures given at the University of Geneva, for ten points, name this text that argues for synchronic and diachronic studies of language, published after the death of Ferdinand de Saussure.
In this text, the author contrasts groupings of terms in a potential mnemonic series, known as associative relations, with combinations of consecutive units supported by linearity, known as syntagmatic relations. The author discusses interjections and onomatopoeic words, but concludes that even in these cases, the connection between concept and sound-image is unmotivated, supporting his hypothesis that signs are arbitrary. The author distinguishes between the underlying system of sound-images linked with meanings, and speech, or parole.
