What is the strong belief from Whorf’s hypothesis, that language controls the way we think and interpret the world around us?
A
Linguistic Determinism
B
Aphasia
C
Telegraphic Speech
D
Linguistic Influence
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Edward Sapir and his pupil Benjamin Lee Whorf developed the hypothesis that language influences thought rather than the reverse. The strong form of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis claims that people from different cultures think differently because of differences in their languages.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two major forms of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis: linguistic determinism and linguistic relativism. Linguistic determinism is considered the strong version of the theory and it is generally thought to be incorrect today.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis holds that human thought is shaped by language, leading speakers of different languages to think differently. This hypothesis has sparked both enthusiasm and controversy, but despite its prominence it has only occasionally been addressed in computational terms.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis1 states that language affects thought-how we speak influences how we think. Or, at least, that’s one form of the hypothesis, the weak form. The strong form of Sapir-Whorf says that language determines thought, that how we speak forms a hard boundary on how and what we think.
