Abstract:

The present book is the English translation of Louis Hjelmslev’s
lectures on glossematics, the theory of language developed in the
forties by him and Hans Jørgen Uldall, and taught at the University of
Copenhagen in 1942-43, thoroughly taken down in shorthand by his
student Harry Wett Frederiksen. The document, unpublished so far, is
one-of-a-kind in its pedagogical dimension, as it aims to introduce
students, and now readers, to the glossematician’s workshop,
informally discussing its theoretical framework, the operations
employed in description and the reasons why such operations were
devised via a concrete analysis of Hans Christian Andersen’s
fairy-tale “The Sweethearts”. Overall, the document offers a unique
glimpse into the machinery of one of the most epistemologically aware
and rigorous theories of language developed in the 20th century.
