Beschreibung
The works of Edward Sapir (1884 - 1939) continue to provide inspiration to all interested in the study of human language. Since most of his published works are relatively inaccessible, and valuable unpublished material has been found, the preparation of a complete edition of all his published and unpublished works was long overdue. The wide range of Sapir's scholarship as well as the amount of work necessary to put the unpublished manuscripts into publishable form pose unique challenges for the editors. Many scholars from a variety of fields as well as American Indian language specialists are providing significant assistance in the making of this multi-volume series.
Volume I of Edward Sapir’s Collected Works contains the reedition of Sapir’s papers and reviews in general linguistics, in the philosophy of language and linguistics (the origin of language; general semantics; the construction of an international auxiliary language), as well as his articles on ‘language’ and ‘dialect’ written for the Encyclopedia of Social Sciences. The texts have been reedited and supplied with an introductory study and notes. The introductory studies assess Sapir’s contribution to the linguistic study of the various topics dealt with. Volume I also contains a reprint of retrospective appraisals of Sapir’s work in general linguistics written by Zellig Harris and Stanley Newman.

"Dans tous ses écrits, Sapir semble avoir poursuivi un but unique-, cetui de poser les fondemenis d,une approche structuraliste rigoureuse, permettant d'engloberàla fois la linguistique, l'anthropologie ei les autres sciences humaines et sociales, alliant dans l'entreprise l'intelligence, l'élégance et la curiosité du renardà la patience du hérisson."Alain Rouveret in: Bulletin de la Societe de Linguistique 2/2010
