Ferdinand D Saussure was born in Geneva in 1857. He started teaching course of general Linguistics in 1906. He came up with the Laryngeal Theory, trying to explain how he was able to make systematic and predictive hypotheses from known linguistic data to unknown.The success of tthis was discovered some 50 years later.
