| Benjamin Lee Whorf |
April 24
1869:
A monsieur A Dufriche motions that the infamous second article of the
constitution of the Société de Linguistique de Paris be revoked. The
second article was the one which banned discussion on the origins of
human language, as well as proposals for a new international auxiliary
language. Dufriche’s motion fails, and the article therefore remains in
vigour.
1897: Benjamin Lee Whorf, who formulated the strong version of the notorious Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, is born in Massachusetts.
