Language An Introduction to the Study of Speech

Edward Sapir (IPA: /spr/), (January 26, 1884 - February 4, 1939) was a Jewish-German-American anthropologist-linguist, a leader in American structural linguistics, and one of the creators of what is now called the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. He is arguably the most influential figure in American linguistics, influencing several generations of linguists across several schools of linguistics. Books Sapir, Edward (1907).
