Annotation

This book provides an outline of the development of and an extensive review of work on the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which regards the influence of language on thought. At the same time, the book presents the background and the theoretical framework for a companion volume, entitled 'Grammatical categories annd cognition', that presents a comparison of English and Yucatec Maya.
