Meanwhile, in the United States during this period, as cultural anthropological research on American Indian tribes progressed, an objective method that did not rely on traditional grammar was needed to describe their languages. E. Sapir, who had extensively studied American Indian languages, noticed the existence of a phonological system that differed from the phonetic realities at a different level in his book Language (1921), which he called "sound patterns."

However, the founder of American structural linguistics was L.
