Edward Sapir, a pivotal figure in early linguistics, made significant contributions to the study of North American Indian languages and the field of ethno-linguistics, which explores the interplay between culture and language. This 2014 reprint of his 1939 work preserves the original text, highlighting his role as a founder of the American descriptive school of structural linguistics. Sapir's insights continue to influence contemporary linguistic studies and understanding of cultural linguistics.
