If I'm not wildly incorrect, Levi-Strauss may have been expounding Chomskian
ideas about what L-S calls deep structure before Chomsky entered high
school. Asdiwhal anyone? Maybe _The Savage Mind_?
Saussure is the clearest derivation of L-S' version of structuralism I can
find. And in _Structural Anthropology_ if I remember correctly, L-S says
quite plainly that hisversion of anthropology IS structural linguistics
applied to teh analysis of meaning. Any reason to distrust him?
