Reflections from Welby and de Saussure In the “What is Meaning?” text by Welby, it is indeed interesting to read how the author describes the primary principles of the theory she put forward regarding the sign. As the reader begins chapter one, there is a sense of misunderstanding on the message she is trying to communicate. She notes, ‘it may be well briefly to summarise the line then taken’ (Welby 2). Although the reader may be lost at this very point, she introduces the term ‘significs,’ which brings meaning and sense into the first chapter. According to Lady Welby’s opinion, the theory of meaning is essential in explaining concepts. However, the approach she uses makes some of the passages difficult to understand. For example, she observes that ‘…we shall, for the first time, realise what meaning is and can be…” (Welby 5).

In de Saussure’s “Course in General Linguistics,” the writer explores the link which exists between linguistic progression and…
