Annotation

A comprehensive account of the ideas of B.L. Whorf explaining the nature and logic of the linguistic relativity principle while also situating it within a larger ‘theory complex’. Drawing on Whorf’s (un)published writings, it is shown how twelve elements of theory interweave in a sophisticated account of relations between language, mind, and experience.
