How do culture and language correspond? How does language work, and how do languages vary? An expert linguist and anthropologist addresses these and related issues in a highly readable examination of language within the contexts of thought, historical process, race, culture, and art. Edward Sapir's gifts of lyric and persuasive writing make this introduction to the fundamentals of language accessible and interesting to readers with no background in the subject. Professional linguists will be similarly engaged by the breadth of the author's canvas, the penetrating quality of his vision, and his treatment of topics-including a discussion of "drift," or the processes of language change. Unabridged republication of the classic 1921 edition.
