A Recasting of Sapir's "Language, An Introduction to the Study of Speech."

Keirstead, S. K.

Edward Sapir's 1921 publication, "Language, An Introduction to the Study of Speech" is interpreted for beginning students of historical and descriptive linguistics. In his book, Sapir attempts to show (1) what he thinks language is, (2) what variables occur in language due to time and place, and (3) the relationship of language and thought. A glossary and list of references are included. (MSE)
