![]() ![]() With trailblazers like Misty who honor our past in order to ensure a better tomorrow, our future shines bright. I’m including the book in this post because of its broad scope in hopes that it will direct the parents of Black ballerinas to share the names therein to their daughters to do additional research on. She starts in the early 20th century and spans up to today. It is exciting to see that Misty has a new adult book coming out in November of 2021 called, “Black Ballerinas, My Journey to our Legacy.” The cover lists the names of ballerinas who inspired her along her journey. She is quite special as her first teacher, Cindy Bradley said in a 60 minutes interview, in Misty she could see that she was going to be “one of the greats.” In 2009, she was asked by Prince to perform in his “Crimson and Clover” music video. Firebird is also the name of one of a 2012 ballet concert she starred in that received rave reviews.

A speech element can symbolize either a concept or relations within and between concepts. Therefore not only communication systems of animals are excluded from his definition of language but also any human articulation that is not symbolic or voluntary, e.g., instinctive cries. Sapir characterizes language as purely human and non-instinctive, consisting of a conventional system of arbitrary sound symbols that are produced voluntarily. Beginning with Sapir’s definition and characterization of language I want to carve out the function of language structure in connection with language change, its impact on world view, and finally Sapir’s conclusions concerning an artificial international language. ![]() ![]() In this paper I want to give an overview on his inquiries into the function and form of languages as arbitrary systems of symbolisms. ![]() He treats language as a cultural product and considers linguistics to be a fruitful possibility of a scientific study of society.
