Abstract
Structuralism
One of the most significant developments of linguistics in the past century is undoubtedly the introduction of the distinction between form and substance. The adoption of this dichotomy was a crucial part of the launching of structural linguistics. Although today these Saussurean terms may have an obsolete ring to them, it is nonetheless true that this distinction still enjoys the status of ‘inescapable’ cornerstone of linguistic methodology. For the linguist the primary focus is on structure whereas the study of the way this structure is actualized in speaking and listening falls in the domain of performance, behavioral research and experimental phonetics.
