The pioneering linguist Benjamin Whorf (1897--1941) grasped the relationship betweenhuman language and human thinking: how language can shape our innermost thoughts. His basic thesisis that our perception of the world and our ways of thinking about it are deeply influenced by thestructure of the languages we speak. The writings collected in this volume include important paperson the Maya, Hopi, and Shawnee languages, as well as more general reflections on language andmeaning. Whorf's ideas about the relation of language and thought have always appealed to a wideaudience, but their reception in expert circles has alternated between dismissal and applause.Recently the language sciences have headed in directions that give Whorf's thinking a renewedrelevance. Hence this new edition of Whorf's classic work is especiallytimely.
The second edition includes all the writings from the first edition aswell as John Carroll's original introduction, a new foreword by Stephen Levinson of the Max PlanckInstitute for Psycholinguistics that puts Whorf's work in historical and contemporary context, andnew indexes. In addition, this edition offers Whorf's "Yale Report," an important workfrom Whorf's mature oeuvre.
