For one useful starting point, see Language in Culture: Proceedings of a
Conference on the Interrelations of Language and Other Aspects of
Culture.  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:
"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 Collected
Papers on Metalinguistics, (Washington DC 1952)."

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.
