Is Plato's dialogue Statesman a primitive example of Structuralism in practice? I don't know enough about Structuralism to answer this question, but the manner in which the Stranger from Elea analyzes the subject in an attempt to home in on the precise definition of the Statesman seems to be a curious anticipation of modern Structuralism.

Structuralism is a well-established concept in human and social studies, and for the most part this article takes the correct point of view. However, there is some confusion caused by the fact that the term 'structuralism' itself has been used in other sciences, too. The reference in this context should be sociological. Additionally, the concept of 'structuralism' is different in mathematics, biology, and psychology. It is best to use Dosse's two-volume work (vol. 1 and vol. 2) and related sources. Four main points:
EFK Koerner examined a large number of 19th century German grammars and related literature. As part of his historiography, he points out major confusion in some sources, and splits the classical approaches in two:
To what is said above, I know that some Indian scholars are trying to argue that Saussure created a formal theory of language based on Panini's method, which was further developed by Bloomfield and Chomsky. I don't suppose any of it is true. In fact, the final conclusion here seems reasonable. I would suggest removing Panini as irrelevant to this article unless there's evidence.

Wundt is not discussed by Dosse, Koerner or Saussure, suggesting he is completely irrelevant to structuralism proper. However, it is well known that Wundt's Völkerpsychologie is a continuation of Steinthal's Völkerpsychologie per which he is placed into the 'static' group of Humboldt & Co., as opposed to the dynamic view of language of Saussure & Co.
