Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
According to Whorf’s Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis
A
We can relate to others that speak foreign languages through non verbals
B
Non verbals mean more than what is said
C
We can not see certain things because we do not have words to describe them
D
language does not determine the way we think
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis takes two forms: that language determines thought or that language influences thought. The former is a much stronger view because it states that one is incapable of understanding a concept for which the language has no name (it also implies that there is no thought without language).

Detailed explanation-2: -Influence. The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis posits that language either determines or influences one’s thought. In other words, people who speak different languages see the world differently, based on the language they use to describe it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Linguistic determinism is the strong form of linguistic relativity (popularly known as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis), which argues that individuals experience the world based on the structure of the language they habitually use.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis was developed by Benjamin Whorf and Edward Sapir. According to this hypothesis, our language influences and shapes our cultural reality by limiting our thought processes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Which of the following examples support the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis? The Hebrew language emphasizes gender more than the Finnish language. Therefore, Hebrew-speaking children acquire the concept of gender earlier than Finnish-speaking children.
