The pioneering linguist Benjamin Whorf (1897--1941) grasped the
relationship between human language and human thinking: how language can shape our
innermost thoughts. His basic thesis is that our perception of the world and our
ways of thinking about it are deeply influenced by the structure of the languages we
speak. The writings collected in this volume include important papers on the Maya,
Hopi, and Shawnee languages as well as more general reflections on language and
meaning.
