Ferdinand Saussure[edit]

"A sign is the basic unit of language (a given language at a given time). Every language is a complete system of signs. Parole (the speech of an individual) is an external manifestation of language."
"A linguistic system is a series of differences of sounds combined with a series of differences of ideas."
"The connection between the signifier and the signified is arbitrary."
"In language there are only differences, and no positive terms"
"Speaking of linguistic law in general is like trying to pin down a ghost"
