Description

This comprehensive examination of American linguistic scholarship traces the discipline's evolution from its anthropological foundations through to the late twentieth century. Beginning with Franz Boas and Edward Sapir's pioneering work and concluding with Noam Chomsky and William Labov's contributions, the book maps essential periods and research areas that shaped modern linguistics. Readers will explore the origins of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, Leonard Bloomfield's influence alongside the Cours de linguistique generale, and the historiography of the Chomskyan Revolution. The volume addresses both foundational concepts and contemporary debates within linguistics, making it essential for scholars, students, and linguists seeking to understand how American linguistic traditions developed and continue to influence current research and theory.

Key Features

Part of the Routledge Studies in the History of Linguistics series, offering rigorous academic analysis of modern linguistics history.
