{"product_id":"dialogue-at-the-margins","title":"Dialogue at the Margins","description":"This book looks at the relativity principle of pioneering American linguist Benjamin Whorf which has been a focus of controversy among scholars of language for half a century. Many claim that this principle amounts to Whorf's assertion that language determines thought and culture, while others vigorously reject such a claim. Emily Schultz re-reads Whorf in terms of Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin, and argues that the Whorfian controversy is rooted in the polyphonic character of his best-known texts. By combining Whorfian and Bakhtinian insights concerning variation within and across languages. Schultz aims to offer a new dialogic interpretation of linguistic relativity that should be of interest to students and scholars of anthropology, linguistics, cognitive psychology, philosophy of language and literary and art criticism.","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55554977726808,"sku":"9780299127046","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780299127046.jpg?v=1778676366","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dialogue-at-the-margins","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
