Answer 1

Answer:

A. Glossematics

• Glossematics refers to a formal and abstract approach to language study developed in the 1930s, particularly by the Danish linguist Louis Hjelmslev.

• It aimed to describe language as a formal system of interdependent elements, focusing on structure rather than meaning.

• The method is highly mathematical and logical, attempting to model language as a network of relationships between minimal units (glossemes).
