Rencently, scholars have argued that it was not his theory complex itself, but an over-simplified, reduced section taken out of context that has become known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that has met with so much resistance among linguists over the last few decades. Not only did Whorf present his views much more subtly than most people would believe, but he also dealt with a great number of other issues in his work. Taking Whorf's own notion of linguistic relativity as a starting point, this volume explores the relation between language, mind and experience through its historical development, Whorf's own writing, its misinterpretations, various theoretical and methodological issues and a closer look at a few specific issues in his work. 410 0$aAmsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.$nSeries IV,$pCurrent issues in linguistic theory ;$vv. 199. 606 $aSapir-Whorf hypothesis$vCongresses 606 $aLanguage and culture$vCongresses 606 $aThought and thinking$vCongresses 615 0$aSapir-Whorf hypothesis 615 0$aLanguage and culture 615 0$aThought and thinking 676 $a401 701 $aPu?tz$b Martin$f1955-$0388884 701 $aVerspoor$b Marjolyn$0168927 712 12$aInternational L.A.U.D.-Symposium$d(26th :$f1998 :$eDuisburg, Germany) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974840203321 996 $aExplorations in linguistic relativity$94346381 997 $aUNINA
