This is the first textbook on the linguistic relativity hypothesis,
presenting it in user-friendly language, yet analyzing all its
premises in systematic ways. The hypothesis claims that there is an
intrinsic interconnection between thought, language, and society.
All technical terms are explained and a glossary is provided at the
back of the volume. The book looks at the history and different
versions of the hypothesis over the centuries, including the
research paradigms and critiques that it has generated. It also
describes and analyzes the relevant research designed to test its
validity in various domains of language structure and use, from
grammar and discourse to artificial languages and in nonverbal
semiotic systems as well. Overall, this book aims to present a
comprehensive overview of the hypothesis and its supporting
research in a textbook fashion, with pedagogical activities in each
chapter, including questions for discussion and practical exercises
on specific notions associated with the hypothesis. The book also
discusses the hypothesis as a foundational notion for the
establishment of linguistic anthropology as a major branch of
linguistics. This essential course text inspires creative, informed
dialogue and debate for students of anthropology,linguistics,
cultural studies, cognitive science, and psychology.
