Whose influence significantly decreased in the 1970s even though Jakobson's work continued to receive attention?

  • Symbolism

  • Structuralism

  • Behaviorism

  • Functionalism

Answer

Structuralism, the school of thought that focused on the relationship between signs and their meanings, saw its influence significantly decrease in the 1970s. This was due in part to the rise of poststructuralism, which rejected the idea of a single, objective meaning for any sign.
