Although the author raised a slight objection against Saussure concerning a sharp distinction between synchrony and diachrony, slight negligence of substance of language and improper treatment of philology, he has asserted that those linguists who took into account the linguistic situation of Western Europe at the early 20th century when Saussure was alive would stop criticizing the greatest linguist. One of the reasons why Saussure is being bashed nowadays is that he published no book about general linguistics. Would it be a fault? We rather consider it as an advantage, that is, every linguist may interpret this Swiss in his own way and determine his own linguistically fundamental attitudes.
