    Although I did not know Ward Goodenough personally, having met him only once at an American Anthropological Association meeting, his work on applying linguistics to anthropology strongly influenced a generation of anthropologists, beginning in the 1960s. Along with several other anthropologists, including Kim Romney, Roy D'Andrade, and Charles Frake, he redirected cultural anthropology from 50 years of culture-trait definitions to a linguistic-cognitive one, stating that culture is what one has to know in order to behave meaningfully within a society. It's still used, even by anthropologists who may not know its origin. The reference is: Goodenough, W. H. (1957). Cultural anthropology and linguistics. In P. Garvin (ed.), Report of the Seventh annual Round Table on Linguistics and Language Study. Georgetown University Monograph Series on Language and Linguistics, 9. Washington, DC: Georgetown University.
