Louis Hjelmslev

    October 3, 1899 – May 30, 1965

    Louis Hjelmslev developed glossematics, a theory of language that profoundly influenced European semiotics. His work, though abstract and challenging to parse due to its formalized presentation, is essential for grasping the theoretical underpinnings of semiotics. He significantly contributed to scientific structuralism, refining concepts like sign, expression, content, and form, many of which remain central to semiotic study.
