This book provides an accessible introduction to Benjamin Lee Whorf and his contributions to linguistic relativity. It outlines his biography, intellectual development, and theoretical concerns while highlighting the distinctive approach of his work.

Benjamin Lee Whorf (1897-1941) was an influential figure in twentieth-century linguistic research whose work became central to the development of linguistic relativity (LR). His writings raised enduring questions about the relationships among language, thought, cognition, and culture. From a retrospective perspective, several concerns in Whorf's work can also be seen as anticipating questions later explored in research on language and cognition. As a major figure associated with linguistic relativity, Whorf provides an important point of departure for examining how linguistic patterns may relate to habitual patterns of thought and cultural interpretation. Covering Whorf's linguistic connections, the development and theory of linguistic relativity, covert categories, the Yale Report, key concepts, and applications, this book provides a resource for understanding Whorf's work and its subsequent reception across linguistics and related disciplines.
