Показать описание
Does language determine the way you think? The idea that language determines the way you think is called "linguistic determinism", "linguistic relativity", or the "Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis".

A fantastic book about this idea is "Through the language glass: Why the world looks different in other languages". Buy it here!

I would argue that langauges does determine to a great degree how we think about things. when we use language to try and understand how we feel for example If I say I’m stuck in a situation I rob myelf of autonomy if I instead saying things like I’m dissatisfied this instantly arms me with autonomy through the introduction of a different word.
