Sapir's first fieldwork was on the Wishram Chinook language in the summer of 1905, funded by the Bureau of American Ethnology.

Whorf took on a central role among Sapir's students and was well respected.

He was also deeply influenced by Sapir's death in early 1939.

Born in German Pomerania, Sapir's parents emigrated to America when he was a child.

Edward Sapir's first language was Yiddish, and later English.

Tillohash was Sapir's collaborator on the famous description of the Southern Paiute language.

Sapir's second wife, Jean Victoria McClenaghan, was sixteen years younger than him, had first met Sapir as a student in Ottawa, but had since also come to work at the University of Chicago's department of Juvenile Research.

Sapir's special focus among American languages was in the Athabaskan languages, a family which especially fascinated him.

Russian Psychologist Lev Vygotsky read Sapir's work and experimentally studied the ways in which the development of concepts in children was influenced by structures given in language.

But the reputation he had during his lifetime belies this idea: his academic peers at Yale University considered the " amateur " Whorf to be the best man available to take over Sapir's graduate seminar in Native American linguistics while Sapir was on sabbatical in 1937 – 38.

The Sapir – Whorf hypothesis influenced the development and standardization of Interlingua during the first half of the 20th Century, but this was largely due to Sapir's direct involvement.

In any case, it was Harry Hoijer ( Sapir's student ) who coined the term.

By the time Sapir's 1929 Encyclopædia Britannica article was published, he had added two more branches:

Zuni was included with reservations under Aztec-Tanoan within Edward Sapir's heuristic 1929 classification ( without supporting evidence ).

Kroeber and Sapir's focus on Native American languages helped establish linguistics as a truly general science and free it from its historical focus on Indo-European languages.

Whorf took Sapir's first course at Yale on " American Indian Linguistics ".

Sapir's work on Takelma became his doctoral dissertation which he defended in 1908.

But Sapir did not want to compromise on quality, and in the end the Handbook had to go into press without Sapir's piece.

Mead received news of Sapir's remarriage while still in Samoa, and burned their correspondence there on the beach.

In elaborating his classification of the Amerind languages Greenberg relied heavily on Sapir's early work on the North American languages and the highly impressionist classification of South American languages by Paul Rivet.

The Photography of Marion Post Wolcott Website created by Wolcott's daughter, hosted on J. David Sapir's site Fixing Shadows, available online: http :// people. virginia. edu /~ ds8s / mpw / mpw-bio. html, 1999.

Robert Lowie later said that Sapir's fascination with indigenous languages stemmed from the seminar with Boas in which Boas used examples from Native American languages to disprove all of Sapir's common-sense assumptions about the basic nature of Language.

At Yale, Whorf joined the circle of Sapir's students that included such luminary linguists as Morris Swadesh, Mary Haas, Harry Hoijer, G. L. Trager and Charles F. Voegelin.

Tlapanec ( Me ' phaa ) and Subtiaba, which had been seen as related already by Lehmann but which had been included in Sapir's Hokan grouping were not to be included in the family until 1977 when Jorge A Suárez demonstrated the relationship.

Sapir's earliest writings had espoused views of the relation between thought and language stemming from the Humboldtian tradition he acquired through Franz Boas, which regarded language as the historical embodiment of volksgeist, or ethnic world view.

The Delsons, who hailed from the prestigious Jewish center of Vilna, considered the Sapirs to be rural upstarts and were less than impressed with Sapir's career in an unpronounceable academic field.

Sapir's parents had by now divorced and his father seemed to suffer from a psychosis, and made it necessary for him to leave Canada for Philadelphia, where Edward continued to support him financially.

Inspired by Sapir's early lists of word similarities between Native American languages, he began a life work in comparative linguistics.

Sapir's applications of the comparative method to unwritten Native American languages are regarded as groundbreaking.

Some well-known earlier American linguists like Morris Swadesh and Edward Sapir also pursued large-scale classifications like Sapir's 1929 scheme for the Americas, accompanied by controversy similar to that today.

However, Segerer ( 2009, 2010 ) confirms Sapir's findings that Wolof is not close to Fulani ; he finds the closest relatives of Wolof are several obscure languages along the Casamance River.

Later Sapir and Leo Frachtenberg added the Kalapuyan and the Chinookan languages and then later the Alsean and Tsimshianic families, culminating in Sapir's 1921 four-branch classification:

Despite the concern of Haas and others, the Consensus Classification produced at a 1964 conference in Bloomington, Indiana, retained all of Sapir's groups for North America north of Mexico within the Penutian Phylum.

Although its exact foundation date is obscure, according to Eric Hamp, it is generally believed to antedate the Second World War, and possibly extends back to Bloomfield's and Sapir's tenure at the University in the 1920s and 1930s.

As Jacob Sapir could not provide for his family, Sapir's mother, Eva Seagal Sapir, opened a shop to supply the basic necessities.

The dissertation foreshadowed several important trends in Sapir's work: Particularly the careful attention to native speakers ' intuition regarding sound patterns, that would later become the basis for Sapir's formulation of the phoneme.

But Sapir's conservative ideas about marriage and the woman's role were anathema to Mead, as they had been to Benedict, and as Mead left to do field work in Samoa the two separated permanently.

Max Weber published four major texts on religion in a context of economic sociology and his rationalization thesis: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism ( 1905 ), The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism ( 1915 ), The Religion of India: The Sociology of Hinduism and Buddhism ( 1915 ), and Ancient Judaism ( 1920 ).

" The fundamental idea of 1924 thesis was the following: The fact that, following Einstein's introduction of photons in light waves, one knew that light contains particles which are concentrations of energy incorporated into the wave, suggests that all particles, like the electron, must be transported by a wave into which it is incorporated ... My essential idea was to extend to all particles the coexistence of waves and particles discovered by Einstein in 1905 in the case of light and photons.

A PhD thesis, " Empire and authority: Curzon, collisions, character and the Raj, 1899 – 1905.

He studied economics, art history and political science at the universities of Munich and Berlin, receiving his doctorate in 1905 in Munich with Lujo Brentano as his thesis adviser.

Oswald Veblen supervised Moore's 1905 thesis, titled Sets of Metrical Hypotheses for Geometry.

Occasioned by the French law of 1905 providing for the separation of church and state, it denounced the proposition that the state should be separated from the Church as " a thesis absolutely false, a most pernicious error ".

Returning to St Petersburg in April 1905 he began to prepare his thesis, but it was a presentation to the Imperial Military Medical Academy in 1905 that earned him lasting fame.

Carl Gustav Jung treated the subject in his thesis On the Psychology and Pathology of So-Called Occult Phenomena ( 1902 ) and in an article, Cryptomnesia ( 1905 ), suggested the phenomenon in Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra.
