Editorial Reviews

Midgette (linguistics, U. of New Mexico) examines how linguistic categories may influence thinking with respect to the perception of time. Looking at the verb system of Navajo, she finds the notion of aspect to be crucial, and focuses on one category, the Progressive, as it is used in various types of discourse. She relates her findings to studies of color terms and perceptions to discuss the complex relationship between language and perception. Revised from a 1987 doctoral dissertation for the University of New Mexico. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
