DESCRIPTION:
Edward Sapir was an early 20th century leader in the field of linguists. Language an Introduction To The Study Of Speech provides the reader with everything from a grammar-typological classification of languages, as seen in the Chinese tand Nootka languages, to speculation on the phenomenon of Language drift and the arbitrariness of associations between language, race, and culture.. His accomplishments include a substantial series of publications on Nootka and other languages, and his seminal book Language (1921), which is still a leading book in the field. He was a leader in American structural linguistics, and one of the creators of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis
