Language Thought and Reality

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.
