Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Writings of Edward Sapir: In Language, Culture and Personality Edward Sapir was one of those rare men among scientists and scholars who are spoken of by their colleagues in terms of genius. The papers selected for this volume give only part of the reason for that judgment, for there was an uncommon quality of the man himself which attracted and stimulated - inspired may not be too strong a word - many of those who knew him. His talents were manifest in many fields, in none more brilliantly and effectively than in linguistics. He had a truly phenomenal knowledge of languages; linguists have commented that his command of the facts, of specific linguistic phenomena, was unsurpassed among linguistic scientists. Sapir began his linguistic studies in the field of Germanics while he was still an undergraduate. Early in his graduate work he undertook the recording and analysis of an American Indian language, Takelma, and throughout his professional career he carried on intensive work within the various families of American Indian languages. When a speaker of the West African language Jabo (Gweabo) was found working in a Chicago bowling alley, Sapir availed himself of the opportunity to extend his linguistic knowledge of the African field. In later years, his interests turned again to problems in the Indo-European group and he found time to continue work on languages of the Sinitic and Semitic stocks as well. In all his work on these diverse tongues, Sapir showed a sure grasp of the basic form and the interlocking elements of the structure of each language. The Sanskrit scholar, Franklin Edgerton, has put it thus: "He seemed able to meet every one of us on our own grounds, to see the minutiae of many provinces as with a magnifying glass, and at the same time effortlessly to survey the whole terrain." And his ability to view the whole scope of language extended beyond the sheerly formal aspects of speech. Formal linguistic descriptions and analyses were, for Sapir, only the beginning of the linguist's task. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
