Saussure tried to study language as a structure and claimed that ‘all language items are essentially interlinked’. This aspect of language, the chief tool for communication had not been studied earlier. Saussure insisted that language was actually a carefully built structure of interwoven elements. He further explained that language was composed of units called sign. The concrete distinction and the relative importance of Langue and Parole given by him later became a very strong base for individual interpretations and inferences that helped in ushering a lot of ‘unconventional’, ‘innovative’ and ‘idiosyncratic’ ideas later, emphasizing on the ‘individual within the ‘structure’. Furthermore, Saussure had also established a very important point; the relation between the signifier and the signified was completely arbitrary. The structures had been constructed but the meaning contained within the structure was still to be discovered. This led to the development of the later theories prevalent today. Keywords: Structure, Signifier, Signified, Binary Opposites, Deconstruction, Discourse, Silences.
