  • 美国观念主义语言学派的代表作,系统地讨论了语言学的对象。

    This little book aims to give a certain perspective on the subject of language rather than to assemble facts about it. It has little to say of the ultimate psychological basis of speech and gives only enough of the actual descriptive or historical facts of particular languages to illustrate principles. Its main purpose is to show what I conceive language to be, what is its variability in place and time, and what are its relations to other fundamental human interests-the problem of thought, the nature of the historical process, race, culture, art.

  • 作者简介
  • 爱德华·萨丕尔(Edward Sapir),美国人类学家和语言学家,出生于德国,1904年从哥伦比亚大学毕业。毕业以后两年,他参与了Wishram和Takelma语言的实地研究。萨丕尔在哥伦比亚的时候认识了他的恩师弗朗茨·博厄斯。萨丕尔专门研究美洲原住民语言。曾指纳-德内语系与汉藏语系同源。萨丕尔曾在芝加哥大学和耶鲁大学任教,于1931年直至去世,担任耶鲁大学人类学系主席。他是最先考虑语言学与人类学之间的关系的语言学家之一。他的学生包括沃夫、哈斯、惠尔和中国的李方桂。他于1939年因心脏病而逝世,享年54岁。

    Edward Sapir (1884–1939) was an American anthropologist-linguist, who is widely considered to be one of the most important figures in the early development of the discipline of linguistics.

    Sapir was born in German Pomerania; his parents emigrated to America when he was a child. He studied Germanic linguistics at Columbia, where he came under the influence of Franz Boas who inspired him to work on Native American languages. While finishing his Ph.D. he went to California to work with Alfred Kroeber documenting the indigenous languages there. He was employed by the Geological Survey of Canada for fifteen years, where he came into his own as one of the most significant linguists in North America, the other being Leonard Bloomfield. He was offered a professorship at the University of Chicago, and stayed for several years continuing to work for the professionalization of the discipline of linguistics. By the end of his life he was professor of anthropology at Yale, where he never really fit in. Among his many students were the linguists Mary Haas and Morris Swadesh, and anthropologists such as Fred Eggan and Hortense Powdermaker.
