Synopsis:
2011 Reprint of 1956 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The hypothesis suggested by Whorf that the structure of a person's language is a factor in the way in which he understands reality and behaves with respect to it has attracted the attention of linguists, anthropologists, psychologists, philosophers, as well as a large segment of the public. This is a collection of important essays published by Whorf over the course of his lifetime.
About the Author: Benjamin Lee Whorf, originally trained as a chemical engineer, began his work in linguistics in the 1920s and became well known for his studies of the Hopi language. He studied with the famous linguist Edward Sapir at Yale University, formulating with him the Sapir--Whorf Hypothesis of linguistic relativity.
