Dialogue at the Margins: Whorf, Bakhtin, and Linguistic Relativity (New Directions in Anthropological Writings)

By Emily Schultz

This book looks at the relativity principle of pioneering American linguist Benjamin Whorf which has been a focus of controversy among scholars of language for half a century. Many claim that this principle amounts to Whorf's assertion that language determines thought and culture, while others vigorously reject such a claim.
