In concert with the work of Martin Heidegger and other philosophers of being, structuralism brought about a major shift in twentieth-century thought often referred to as the “linguistic turn,” which has become shorthand for the conviction that meaning does not exist outside language. ” This method contrasts with historical linguistics as then practiced by European philologists who sought to trace Indo-European languages back to a common origin.
