Language

More about the book

Exploring the intricate relationship between language and culture, Edward Sapir presents a holistic view that integrates insights from psychology, philosophy, and anthropology. He posits that language shapes human thought and behavior, rather than merely serving as a communication tool. Central to his work is the theory of linguistic relativity, which argues that language structure influences perception and interpretation of reality. This foundational text remains influential in linguistics and anthropology, offering valuable insights into the complexities of human communication.
