Description
Caleb Everett's comprehensive survey of linguistic relativity research explores the complex relationship between language and nonlinguistic cognition. This book delves into the evidence for relativistic effects in various cognitive domains, including spatial orientation, temporal perception, and color discrimination. Structured to be accessible to scholars across linguistics, psychology, and anthropology, the book introduces crucial concepts and then examines experimentally oriented research on linguistic relativity. With a focus on recent studies from the last decade, this volume provides a critical resource for those investigating the interaction between language and cognition. As the only book to extensively survey the recent work on linguistic relativity, Everett's publication is an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the nuances of language and its impact on thought.
