Ullmann received his doctorate in 1936 in Budapest and went to England in 1939. He was a professor in Glasgow, Leeds and from 1968 as the successor of TBW Reid in Oxford. He published in 1967 "Principles of Semantics" and divides it into three parts: 1 le nom ( phone sequence ), 2nd le sens (meaning ) and 3 la chose ( the extra-linguistic object). He presented these three semantic fields related to each other and went here similarly as Saussure, who also dealt with the semantics. Saussure used different names, but the analysis of Ullmann and Saussure are very similar.
