Explain the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis
What will be an ideal response?
The linguistic relativity hypothesis suggests language influences thinking. Speakers of different languages have somewhat differing cognitive systems. These different cognitive systems influence the ways people think about the world. Thus, according to the relativity view, the Garo would think about rice differently—perhaps with greater complexity of thought—than English speakers, who have only a few words for rice. Thus, language would shape thought. Word learning may occur partly as a result of infants' mental differentiations among various kinds of concepts. So it might make sense that infants who encounter different kinds of objects might make different kinds of mental differentiations. These differentiations would be a function of the culture in which the infants grew up.
