Language : an introduction to the study of speech by Edward Sapir( Book )

264 editions published between 1921 and 2014 in 6 languages and held by 3,014 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This book, first published in 1921, is intended as a basic introduction to linguistic science, especially for the layman. The introductory chapter defines language as a cultural function and as the possible basis of all thought. The elements of language are treated in sections on phonetics, words, grammatical concepts, and grammatical processes. Language is then presented from a historical point of view in chapters dealing with dialectal and grammatical shift, phonetic law, and word borrowings. A chapter on the "types of linguistic structure" gives a detailed discussion of the terms "inflection" and "agglutination," and offers a system for the classification of languages. Included also are a chapter on "language, race and culture," which asserts that there is no necessary connection among the three phenomena, and a final section on "language and literature." This book is available for $1.25 from harcourt, brace world, inc., 757 third avenue, new york city, N.Y. 10022. (rw)

Selected writings of Edward Sapir in language, culture and personality by Edward Sapir( Book )

102 editions published between 1949 and 2015 in 4 languages and held by 969 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Edward Sapir was one of those men, rare among scientists and scholars, who are spoken of by their colleagues in terms of genius. His writings on frontier problems in cultural anthropology, psychology, and linguistics are outstanding for their provocative insights and remarkable control of factual data. His long essay on language, his principal field of study, is an illuminating exploration of various aspects of the subject. His stress on the fact that language is a cultural or social product helped to make linguistics an integral part of the study of man. The interplay of culture and personality was a field where Sapir was a pioneer and many of his essays have become classics in the social sciences

Ethnographic and linguistic examples are drawn from Sapir's fieldwork among native North Americans and from European and American society as well.
