1884-1939 Edward Sapir 1884-1939
About language:  “…  though a dynamo capable of generating enough power to run an elevator were operated almost exclusively to feed an electric doorbell“ Sapir, E. Language, 1921
Ishi was a Yahi Indian, the last survivor of his group. In the last summer of his life, Ishi worked with linguist Edward Sapir, who collected word lists, paradigms and half a dozen long tales from him. These were written in Yahi in a set of 6 notebooks. Part way through the summer, Ishi became too ill to work any more.
V. THE CREATION OF THE YANA.  "Where is your father?" said Lizard to Cottontail Rabbit. "I have no father." "So! It seems that neither of us have any father. There are no people here. Let us make people!" They marked out a ring on the ground with a stick. "Wherewith are we going to make people?" they said to each other. (Cottontail Rabbit said,) "Put sticks down on the ground."

[object Object],Yana is a Hokan language that is no longer spoken. Beginning with Sapir (1917), researchers have identified three or four geographical dialects of the Yana language:  Northern, Central, Southern, and Yahi. Each dialect is considered to be part of a linguistic continuum rather than a sharply defined linguistic unit (Golla 1994; A. Kroeber 1925b:338). Yana is clearly a single language in which all dialects share a basic common structure, lexicon, and phonology .

Sapir-Whorf   hypothesis
Pensamiento luego lengua= Chomsky Simplificando… Lengua luego pensamiento= Sapir-Whorf
Existen hechos que parecen difíciles de explicar si aceptamos la hipótesis Sapir-Whorf en su versión fuerte. Así por ejemplo se ha podido comprobar que los bebés, chimpancés e incluso las palomas son capaces de categorizar y agrupar categorías de objetos en conceptos.
Sin embargo, la cuestión parece diferente cuando consideramos la hipótesis débil.  Los experimentos han mostrado que las memorias visuales tienden a ser distorsionadas de modo que con el tiempo los recuerdos visuales tienden a parecerse a las voces comúnmente más usadas.
Parece razonable aceptar que el lenguaje que uno habla tiene influencia sobre la memoria y la manera en como se codifican en ella algunas cosas, pero es dudoso que el lenguaje sea en realidad el que provee los patrones de pensamiento del individuo (ciertos experimentos muestran la existencia de pensamiento no verbal).
