Funny parallel between C's goals of linguistic theory & Saussure's aims for linguistics. S says linguistics must: a) describe all known languages & their history; b) determine permanent, universal forces in all languages; c) delimit & define linguistics itself. C (10.1–10.2) writes about the back & forth between linguistic description & theory, & also (1) says linguistics must delimit the field of investigation.
