  • Descrição: Edward Sapir's consolidation in the 1920's of John Wesley Powell's 58 North American Indian linguistic families into six suggestive phyla was seen by Sapir and others as opening vast "perspectives" on the culture history of North America. Although the six-unit scheme provided an enormous stimulus to later historical work on Amerindian languages, it had only modest impact on North American archaeology and historical ethnology. It is argued by contrast that linguistic classification schemes up to the family level have created considerable interest among nonlinguistic students of culture history and have generally proven to be the productive level for cross-disciplinary research. The present paper reviews the relevant literature to assess the impact at both classificatory levels.
