According to Wikipedia, Rasmus Viggo Brøndal was a Danish philologist and professor of Romance languages and literature at Copenhagen University. He was also a founder of the Linguistic Circle of Copenhagen. Background Danish linguist and language philosopher. Brøndal received a traditional education in philology but showed an early concern for theoretical problems. The Danish philosopher Harald Høffding introduced him to the theory and history of philosophical categories, which was to be the basis of his theory of structural linguistics. This background made him receptive to the ideas of the prestructuralists during his studies in Paris . He read Ferdinand de Saussure's Cours de linguistique générale immediately after its publication as he was proofreading the final version of his sociologically oriented thesis on language history . Elements from Saussure were footnoted in his book.
