About the Book

Edward Sapir (1884-1939), one of the foremost linguists and anthropologists of his time, is most widely known for his contributions to the study of North American Indian languages. A founder of ethnolinguistics, which considers the relationship of culture to language, he was also a principal developer of the American (descriptive) school of structural linguistics. As a graduate student at Columbia University, he came under the influence of the noted anthropologist Franz Boas, who directed his attention to the rich possibilities of linguistic anthropology. From 1910 to 1925 Sapir served as Chief of Anthropology of the Canadian Geological Survey (soon to become the National Museum of Man), where he made a steady contribution to ethnology. Sapir suggested that man perceives the world principally through language. A through description of a linguistic structure and its function in speech might, he wrote in 1931, provide insights into man's perceptive and cognitive faculties and help explain the diverse behaviour among peoples of different cultural backgrounds. He also undertook considerable research in comparative and historical linguistics. The set includes a new introduct by the editor, as well as smaller section introductions, exploring and contextualising the main themes of the selections included. It also includes an index.
