As already has been mentioned, the Swiss linguist Ferdinandde Saussure fathered structuralism in 1916, which earned him aneverlasting reputation as the founder of modern linguistics. In thefollowing several decades of the 20th century, structuralism held swayin the field of linguistics, with lots of famous scholars both in Europeand in the United States of America practicing linguistics under theinfluence of his teachings, either directly or indirectly. The PragueSchool in Czechoslovakia and the American Descriptive Linguistics arethe prominent representatives, both of which have made tremendouscontributions to the development of linguistics. Here we will probe intotheir contributions and then their limitations and drawbacks in theirresearch methodology.
