Copenhagen School

Copenhagen School 

(Lingvistkredsen, Cercle Linguistique de Copenhague), the scholars who make up the Linguistic Circle of Copenhagen, proponents of the glossematic theory— one of the schools of modern structural linguistics.

The circle was formed in 1931 by V. Br0ndal, H. Uldall, and L. Hjelmslev. Works by members of the circle are discussed at their meetings and published in the Bulletin du Cercle Linguistique de Copenhague (since 1934) and in the journal Acta Linguistica (from 1939, edited by L. Hjelmslev and V. Br0ndal), known since 1966 as Acta Linguistica Hafniensia (edited by E. Fischer-J0rgensen). Since 1944 the circle has from time to time issued Travaux du Cercle Linguistique de Copenhague.
