Language, thought, and reality
Book • 1956
In 'Language, Thought, and Reality,' Benjamin Lee Whorf presents a groundbreaking exploration of how language shapes our understanding of the world.
His work, often encapsulated in the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, suggests that the structure of a language influences its speakers' worldview and cognition.
The book includes studies on Native American languages, such as Hopi, and offers insights into alternative philosophical assumptions.
