Abstract:

Al-Qur’an is the text that contains i’jāz. However, there are disagreements about i’jāz criteria. Some people think that i’jāz is outside the text, while others assume i’jāz is in the Qur’an itself. One of the scholars who agreed that i’jāz al-Qur'an is in the text of the Qur’an is Abd al-Qāhir al-Jurjānī. However, al-Jurjānī’s explanation explaining this problem is still widely misunderstood and sometimes directs understanding of the irrational aspects. This study aims to find the reasoning i’jāz al-Qur’an according to al-Jurjānī by using the linguistic relativity approach. This study found t

Abstract:

Every language is assumed to be unique, structurally and culturally. Taking this neo-Bloomfieldian assumption at the outset, this paper first points out the inadequacy of sentence grammars for foreign language teaching. Toward this end, the paper further argues for the necessity of understanding linguistic and cultural relativity. Linguistic relativity, or better known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, suggests that the way we perceive and categorize reality is partly determined by the language we speak; and cultural relativity implies that verbalization of concepts in a particular language is of

Abstract:

‘Linguistic relativity’ has become a major keyword in debates on the psychological significance of language diversity. In this context, the term ‘relativity’ was originally taken on loan from Einstein’s then-recent theories by Edward Sapir (1924) and Benjamin L. Whorf (1940). The present paper assesses how far the idea of linguistic relativity does analogically build on relevant insights in modern physics, and fails to find any substantial analogies. The term was used rhetorically by Sapir and Whorf, and has since been incorporated into a cognitivist research programme that seeks to answer whe

Abstract:

Abstract Proponents of the Linguistic Relativity Principle has maintained that the language we use modulates our thinking and that our thinking also shapes or determines how the language is parsed and understood. Existing research has provided compelling evidence for the above relativistic view in monolingual speakers. Recently, a growing number of studies have also started to investigate the relativistic view on language and thought in L2 learners. These L2 studies have yielded evidence regarding the cognitive constraint of an early-learned language (e.g. L1) on the later-learned language (e.

Abstract:

Abstract A thorough appreciation of the Whiteheadian subjectivist principle necessitates both a doctrine of panexperientialism as well as a metaphysical perspectivism. Employing a dialectical analysis of these two, this article argues that reality—as understood by the Whiteheadian term “actual world”—is largely misunderstood. Far from representing a singular concrete world, reality is multiplicitous and subject-dependent. As a result of this and the core tenet of process metaphysics—that all existents can be understood as event—it is argued that human language, as its own species of event, int

Abstract Do speakers think about the world differently depending on the language they speak? In recent years, this question has generated substantial interest in the cognitive sciences, driven in part by Talmy's (1985; 2000) observations regarding the typology of motion descriptions. However, a flurry of research (CIFUENTES-FEREZ; GENTNER, 2006; GENNARI et al., 2002; NAIGLES; TERRAZAS, 1998; PAPAFRAGOU; HULBERT; TRUESWELL, 2008; among others) has produced mixed results, leaving us no closer to understanding the role of language in motion event cognition.

The relations between reading time and memory span were studied in four languages: English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Arabic. Reading rate was measured either in speeded reading of digits or in normal-pace reading of stories. Faster speeded reading and normal-pace reading rates for a given language were associated with larger memory span for speakers of that language. These relations, which were shown to be monotonically related to the number of syllables or phonemes per item, extend the within-language word-length effect reported by Baddeley, Thomson and Buchanan (1975), across languages.

Is Translation possible? Summary The article discusses the myth that translation is impossible, tracing its origins to early thinkers like Sapir, Whorf and Wittgenstein. While they suggested linguistic relativity and the inherent limitations of language, modern linguistics has debunked these ideas. Contemporary understanding acknowledges that while language can influence thought, translation is feasible due to universal grammar and practical examples of successful translations. Moreover, the theological imperative to translate the holy books underscores the desirability and possibility of tran

Language, i.e. the human ability to communicate, reflects and enhances our view of the world and as a structural element largely contributes to the development of culture. Linguistically the phenomenon is defined as linguistic determinism and relativity. Language is not only a means to transfer ideas and concepts but it also creates and reflects them. It can give birth to phenomena that do not exist as such. Being a means of inter-cultural communication, language is also the bearer of a national make-up with its light or serious pronouncement, solemnity or dramatism. Despite the linguo-cultura

This paper revisits the theory of linguistic relativity to explore its relevance to cross-cultural communication. Rooted in the work of Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf, the concept suggests that language influences the way individuals think and interpret the world. While strong determinism has been largely rejected, recent interdisciplinary research supports the idea that language shapes cognition in subtle but meaningful ways. Through a conceptual analysis of literature across linguistics, cognitive science, and intercultural communication, this study tries to identify three core themes:

Underlying principle of Linguistic Relativity Theory is to discern an influential relationship between language, culture and thought. Culture in an ingrained set of behaviors and modes of perception that assert the way to people to organize and shape their worlds. One of the salient features of culture is that people adhere to cultural relativism. The characteristics of culture being relative instead of universal in nature, is plausible on the basis of various types of cross cultural studies.

Abstract Linguistic relativity is the influence of language on other realms of cognition. For instance, the way movement is expressed in a person’s native language may influence how they perceive movement. Motion event encoding (MEE) is usually framed as a typological dichotomy. Path-in-verb languages tend to encode path information within the verb (e.g., ‘leave’), whereas manner-in-verb languages encode manner (e.g., ‘jump’). The results of MEE-based linguistic relativity experiments range from no effect to effects on verbal and nonverbal cognition. Seeking a more definitive conclusion, we pr
