We are starting lecture 02 with a (very) brief history of pointing out only some selected highlights. Linguist Ferdinand de Saussure was laying the foundations of today's NLP by describing languages as “systems.” He argued that meaning is created inside language, in the relations and differences between its parts.

Slide from the ISE2025 lecture. Headline: NLP Timeline. On the left side a sepia-toned old portrait picture of Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) is shown. In the middle is a timeline depicted as a ray from top to bottom with an indicator at "1916". The text says: Ferdinand de Saussure, Professor at the University of Geneva, developed an approach describing languages as “systems.” Saussure argued that meaning is created inside language, in the relations and differences between its parts. A shared language system makes communication possible. After his death in 1916, his colleagues Albert Sechehaye and Charles Bally published “Cours de Linguistique Générale” from Saussure’s manuscript notes and lecture notes from his students. Bibliographical references: Saussure, Ferdinand. Course in general linguistics. Eds. Charles Bally & Albert Sechehaye. Trans. Wade Baskin. NY: The Philosophical Society, 1959.
