Professor Smith takes style to be neither the same as a writer's ideas nor the vehicle for their conveyance, but rather his habitual means of arranging concepts, experiences, and implications into a coherent and significant form. The linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf posits a connection between language and reality so intimate that the systemizations in a particular language dictate the reality of the person who speaks that language, forcing on him certain perceptions, denying him others, and effectively channeling his reason. Dr. Smith infers a comparable link between an individual's private habits of language and his private perception of reality, and argues that the uniqueness of a writer's style represents his personal organization of the world-his personal arrangement, not merely of words, but of reality itself.
