For one useful starting point, see <u>Language in Culture: Proceedings of
a Conference on the Interrelations of Language and Other Aspects of
Culture</u>. Ed, Harry Hoijer. published by the American
Anthropological Association, vol.56, #6, part 2, memoir #79, December
1954. In the preface (on p.vii), Hoijer lists what he and Robert
Redfield saw as the objectives of the conference, starting with this
point:<br>
"1. To define, as clearly as possible, the problems raised by the
attempt to interrelate language and other aspects of culture,
particularly in reference to the hypothesis suggested in Benjamin L.
Whorf's <i>Collected Papers on Metalinguistics</i>, (Washington DC
1952)."<br><br>
This conference, with an all-star participant list, was held in Chicago
in March 1953, and the papers and discussion published in the
above-described volume.</html>
