Author Biography

  • Eugenio Coseriu

    The linguist Eugenio Coseriu was born in 1921 in Mihăileni, a small Romanian town that today lies in the Republic of Moldova. After his studies in Romania and Italy, he became Professor of General and Indo-European Linguistics at the University of Montevideo (Uruguay). In the Fifties, he developed the core foundations of his theory of language, which at first consisted of the development and completion of structural linguistics. His most important treatises of this period critically deal with Ferdinand de Saussure and modify or rather complete the latter’s theory of speech, referring among others to Wilhelm von Humboldt, Hegel and Aristotle.
