Different languages impose different conceptions of reality
|
Detailed explanation-1: -According to Whorf’s (1956) linguistic determinism hypothesis, different languages impose different conceptions of reality: “Language itself shapes a man’s basic ideas.” The Hopi, Whorf noted, have no past tense for their verbs. Therefore, he contended, a Hopi could not so readily think about the past.
Detailed explanation-2: -Linguistic determinism is the concept that language and its structures limit and determine human knowledge or thought, as well as thought processes such as categorization, memory, and perception.
Detailed explanation-3: -Linguistic determinism is the theory that a language determines the way you think of the world. There is a weak version termed linguistic relativity where it influences but not determines thought.
Detailed explanation-4: -Proponents of linguistic determinism argue that such differences between languages influence the ways people think-perhaps the ways in which whole cultures are organized.
Detailed explanation-5: -One common example of linguistic determinism is the idea that the Inuit have a much more sophisticated understanding of snow than people from other cultures do because Inuktitut has many different words for snow.
