The works of Edward Sapir (1884 – 1939) continue to provide inspiration to all interested in the study of human language. Since most of his published works are relatively inaccessible, and valuable unpublished material has been found, the preparation of a complete edition of all his published and unpublished works was long overdue. The wide range of Sapir’s scholarship as well as the amount of work necessary to put the unpublished manuscripts into publishable form pose unique challenges for the editors. Many scholars from a variety of fields as well as American Indian language specialists are providing significant assistance in the making of this multi-volume series.

Beschreibung

Volume I of Edward Sapirs Collected Works contains the reedition of Sapirs papers and reviews in general linguistics, in the philosophy of language and linguistics (the origin of language; general semantics; the construction of an international auxiliary language), as well as his articles on language and dialect written for the Encyclopedia of Social Sciences. The texts have been reedited and supplied with an introductory study and notes. The introductory studies assess Sapirs contribution to the linguistic study of the various topics dealt with. Volume I also contains a reprint of retrospective appraisals of Sapirs work in general linguistics written by Zellig Harris and Stanley Newman.
