The Study of Language

Book • 1953
John B. Carroll's The Study of Language provides a comprehensive mid-20th-century overview of linguistics and intersecting disciplines in the United States, aimed at students and scholars.

The book covers historical developments, structuralist and emerging theoretical perspectives, and contributions from psychology and anthropology.

Carroll's clear exposition and synthesis made the book a useful introduction to the field during a period of significant change.

His editorial work on Benjamin Lee Whorf's collected writings further connected him to debates about language and thought.

The Study of Language reflects Carroll's dual interests in linguistics and psycholinguistics, influencing teaching and scholarship.
