Book excerpt: "Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech" is a seminal work by the renowned linguist Edward Sapir. Published in 1921, this book delves into the intricacies of language and its role in shaping human thought and culture. Sapir, known for his contributions to the fields of anthropology and linguistics, explores how language reflects and influences the way we perceive the world around us. In his book, Sapir discusses various aspects of language, including its structure, grammar, and the ways in which different languages shape our understanding of reality. He also delves into the concept of linguistic relativity, which suggests that the structure of a language can affect the way its speakers perceive the world. Through insightful analysis and engaging prose, Sapir invites readers to delve into the fascinating world of language and its profound impact on human society. "Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech" remains a classic text in the field of linguistics, offering valuable insights into the nature of language and its significance in human communication.

Book excerpt: This is without doubt the most important book ever written on the subject of Language and Linguistics. It is a basic book, covering all the then known branches of the large field. It is therefore must reading for anybody interested in a deep study of languages. This is a book which is basic in its subject and popular enough to be of interest to the general reader. The psychological and formal characteristics of speech are carefully established and after studying the historical factors that have molded it the author has devoted his last chapters to the wider bearings of linguistic science and to furnishing a clear understanding as the ever changing instruments of our emotions and mental activity. "This book of Mr. Sapir's distinguishes itself from other general treatment of the problems of linguistics by its power to stimulate thoughts about the subject. There is nothing trite or matter-of-fact between the covers. The discussions sporing from an unusually wide acquaintance with language in all its varieties and a scholarly understanding of the principles of psychology underlying expression. But, more than by its learning, the book impresses us by its quick insight and acute analysis. A capital illustration is the treatment of the problem of classifying languages. . . . There is also a great deal that is suggestive in what the writer has said about the process in phonetic change. Especially noteworthy in this connection is the emphasis he places on what he calls 'patterning'. . . . Closely related to patterning is the discussion of 'drift', the idea that changes in language are not random but move in a definite direction. . . . A gratifying feature, not unusual in books of this class is a chapter showing the dependence of literary style on the phonetic and formal characteristics of a language."
