Abstract:
The present article explores the interrelationships between language and thought in the literature of the Vedic Canon. Whether language shapes thoughts or vice versa has remained a topic pregnant with perpetual discussions, interpretations, and explanations since the beginning of human civilization. Throughout the multiple crossroads of the development in the intellectual tradition, the dimensions of language and thought attracted many scholars and linguists. However, linguists like Edward Sapir and Benjamin L. Whorf in the twentieth century have systematically interpreted and analyzed the language-thought dimensions. Whorf postulated that language shapes thoughts while Sapir projected that language is in the grip of thought. The literature of the Vedic Canon has also logically and systematically projected the multiple dimensional, but agglutinative relationships between language and thought. The hymns of the Rig Veda, myths from Brahmanas, and the lore from Upanishads unravel, interpret, and enrich the language-thought interconnection in such a way that the Vedic literature remains as the classical version of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis written in Sanskrit. In this regard, the Vedic literature and Sapir-Whorf hypothesis play the same tune of music in different lyres. The present paper attempts to reveal this point of unity in diversity between the two seemingly diverse schools of thoughts—classical Vedic literature and modern linguistic theory of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Being the qualitative research, this paper explores, interprets, and correlates the theoretical concepts, ideas, and phenomena from the Vedic literature and Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.

Abstract:
In the field of linguistics, Sapir and Whorf claimed that language and culture are closely related. Language is the reflection of how culture of a community shares. Sapir and Whorf defined two main functions of language in the community. First, language will change from the original if the language is used far from the center where the language origins. This concept is named as language drift. Second, the characteristics of individuals’ culture are manifested in the language they use. This paper is a brief review on theories of language from Sapir-Whorf that inspires on the development of sociolinguistics and discourse analysis in the era that follows.

Abstract:
Linguistic relativism originally comes from anthropology and linguistics. However, most of the interpretations of linguistic relativism have come a long way considering the beginning of the 20th century – when it was established. One of the reasons for that lies in its interdisciplinary potential. In various arts, we find many applications of the philosophy of linguistic relativism. In this paper, we write about the application of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis in the American movie Arrival (2016) and the novel from Bosnian writer EnesKarić named Boje višnje (2016).

Abstract:
The relationship between language and thought has long been a topic of great interest in the field of linguistics, especially in psycholinguistics. Herder, Humboldt, Trendelenbury, Sapir, Whorf, Gui Shichun, Lian Shuneng, and Bao Huinan are some of the well-known scholars who have conducted research on the relationship between language and thought. With regard to the relationship between language and thought, there are three main viewpoints. The first group of scholars, represented by Sapir and Whorf, supports linguistic determinism. Some scholars believe that language and thought are mutually independent. However, others believe that language and thought are inseparable. Beginning from Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and their theory of linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity, this article agrees with the influence of language over thought but refutes the extreme viewpoint of linguistic determinism from several points, proving the independence and mutual influence of language and thought. This article finally concludes that the preferred relationship between language and thought should be that they are independent but interactive.

Abstract:
Studi bahasa dalam linguistik antropologi dikaitkan dengan bahasa dalam seluruh aspek kehidupan manusia, selain itu linguistik antropologi menekankan pada linguistik sebagai pengungkap pola pikir masyarakat. Bahasa adalah bagian dari budaya. Budaya membantu manusia dalam melangsungkan hidupnya, hal ini berarti bahwa budaya sebagai salah satu pengetahuan yang diperoleh secara sosial, sehingga budaya merupakan bagian dari pikiran. Keberhubungan antara bahasa, budaya, dan pikiran tercermin dalam relativitas linguistik dan hipotesis Sapir Whorf. Relativitas linguistik mengemukakan bahwa orang memiliki kemampuan berbicara yang berbeda karena mereka memiliki cara berpikir yang berbeda. Cara berpikir yang berbeda ini disebabkan oleh bahasa yang menawarkan cara mengungkapkan (makna) dunia di sekitar mereka dengan cara yang berbeda. Hipotesis Sapir Whorf secara teoritis diturunkan dari prinsip dasar relativitas linguistik. Hipotesis Sapir-Whorf membuat pernyataan bahwa struktur bahasa yang biasa digunakan seseorang mempengaruhi cara orang berpikir dan berprilaku. Perbedaan-perbedaan budaya dan jalan pikiran manusia itu bersumber dari perbedaan bahasa, atau tanpa adanya bahasa manusia tidak dapat mempunyai jalan pikiran sama sekali.

Abstract:
O filme A Chegada (Arrival) de 2016 traz em si a aplicação de uma hipótese muito conhecida no ambiente de estudos linguístico que é a Hipótese Sapir-Whorf. A história da linguista Louise Banks, que é procurada pelo governo americano para aprender a língua dos alienígenas que aparecem na Terra. Esta análise propõe aqui verificar como é aplicado no filme a hipótese Sapir-Whorf e principais implicações essa ideia possui atualmente além de uma reflexão sobre ensino-aprendizagem de língua estrangeira em ambiente de ensino no contemporâneo. Orientamos pela História das ideias linguística como aporte de método que demonstra a hipótese Sapir-Whorf a partir da análise do enredo do filme e como é demonstrado de maneira cinematográfica evidenciando a hipótese em funcionamento. Em “A chegada”, a análise da linguista Louise conclui que o idioma dos alienígenas não se baseia em conceituações de tempo entre o presente, passado e futuro. Por isso, a escrita alien não é linear como as línguas humanas e que se juntam em símbolos circulares e onde os verbos não tem conjugação. Também não há conexão entre a língua falada e a escrita da direita para a esquerda ou da esquerda para a direita. Essa descoberta altera sua percepção bem como a experiência de fluência de um segundo idioma e então estabelece essa ponte ficcional e científica m abarcar a hipótese que como nas ciências envolvem pensar e decidir o que é válido e útil para o estudo das línguas.

Abstract:
Este trabalho objetiva discutir tópicos acerca da noção de relatividade linguística a partir da chamada Hipótese Sapir-Whorf. A perspectiva proposta por Edward Sapir e Benjamin Whorf, no início do século XX, faz parte de uma então nova tendência de pensamento que procura se despir do cunho etnocêntrico em que se pautavam os estudos das línguas até o momento. Ainda há, entretanto, uma série de pontos problemáticos que circundam a dita hipótese. Trazemos à tona, aqui, principalmente as concepções adotadas por Gipper (1979), Rocha e Rocha (2017) e Wolf e Holmes (2017) sobre a relação existente entre linguagem, cognição e cultura, evidenciando que a teoria da relatividade linguística, apesar de amplamente aceita no meio científico, ainda está longe de ser esgotada.

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 whether ‘language influences thought’. Contemporary research on ‘linguistic relativity’ has developed into a distinct way of studying language diversity, which shares a lot with the universalistic cognitivist framework it opposes, but little with relational approaches in science.

Resumo: A partir da perspectiva da História das Idéias Lingüísticas, investigam-se as filiações ao filósofo Friedrich W. Nietzsche (1844-1900) nas Ciências da Linguagem. Perguntando-se sobre os pontos de contato entre as diversas teorias lingüísticas e o pensamento do filósofo, propõe-se a filiação da chamada hipótese Sapir-Whorf à filosofia de Nietzsche. Desse modo, procura-se compreender a constituição das teorias e dos métodos lingüísticos a partir do campo heterogêneo que caracteriza as Ciências da Linguagem. Apresenta-se com esse fim um panorama do problema da linguagem em Nietzsche e, em seguida, defendem-se os graus de consonância e dissonância entre os autores. Desse modo, argumenta-se que Nietzsche é uma condição de possibilidade para o pensamento de E. Sapir e B. Whorf. No jogo entre memória e esquecimento, é sempre lembrado o nome de W. von Humboldt enquanto "precursor" da hipótese. Percebe-se, entretanto, que no gesto epistemológico de "olhar para trás" em busca de bases, muitas vezes os autores, quando "voltam" desse gesto, o fazem já afetados por toda uma gama de outras idéias que modificaram a primeira, e é nesse sentido que se apresenta a filiação da hipótese a Nietzsche
Abstract: As from the point of view of History of Linguistic Ideas, the research investigates the filiations to the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1990) on the Language Sciences. By questioning the contact points between the various linguistic theories and the philosopher's thoughts, the filiation of the so-called Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to Nietzsche's philosophy is proposed. Thus, It seeks the understanding on the linguistic theories and methods constitution, as from the heterogeneous field that characterizes the Language Sciences. In order to do so, it presents an overview on the matter of language at Nietzsche and, thereafter, the levels of consonance and dissonance among the authors are endorsed. Hence, it is defended that Nietzsche represents a condition of possibility for E. Sapir and B. Whorf's reasoning. As in the play-off between memory and forgetfulness, the name of W. von Humboldt is always recalled as the "forerunner" of the hypothesis. It can be perceived, however, that on the epistemological act of "looking back" in search for ground, the authors often "return" from this gesture rather affected by a whole other range of ideas that have, thus, modified the previous ones, and it is in that sense that the hypothesis filiation to Nietzsche presents itself

Abstract:
Esta dissertação teve por objeto delinear alguns fatores relativos ao processo de emergência da leitura dos trabalhos do linguista e antropólogo norte-americano Edward Sapir (1884-1939) como um dos proponentes de um conjunto de afirmações acerca da natureza das línguas naturais, agrupadas sob o rótulo relativismo linguístico, cujo debate recebeu bastante atenção dos antropólogos linguistas estadunidenses, na primeira metade do século XX. Costuma-se afirmar que o relativismo linguístico seja uma hipótese, que alega que a língua pode moldar a percepção da realidade, o pensamento ou a cultura. Visto o nome de Sapir estar associado ao de Whorf, como o rótulo hipótese Sapir-Whorf indica, e que este rótulo tem sido bastante utilizado atualmente para se referir ao relativismo linguístico, efetuou-se o rastreamento de alguns conceitos fundamentais nesta discussão, dentro do quadro teórico proposto por Sapir, tal como suas concepções acerca da língua, da cultura e do pensamento, com vistas a avaliar a procedência de sua recepção como um relativista. Havido sido este trabalho conduzido sob a metodologia da Historiografia Linguística, buscamos também resgatar os fatores contextuais nos quais tais proposições teóricas emanaram. Por fim, propomos a discussão da configuração do termo relativismo no horizonte teórico do autor, visando fornecer uma perspectiva de leitura diferente da proposta, atualmente, por inúmeros manuais de História da Linguística.
This dissertation had as its objective to outline some factors related to the emergence process of reading the American anthropologist and linguist Edward Sapirs (1884- 1939) papers as one of the proponents of a set of assertions about the nature of natural languages, grouped under the label linguistic relativity, whose debate received much attention from American linguistic anthropologists, during the first half of the twentieth century. It is often said that the linguistic relativity is a hypothesis, which argues that language can shape the perception of reality, thought or culture. Since Sapirs name has been associated with Whorfs, as the label Sapir-Whorf hypothesis indicates, a term widely used today to refer to linguistic relativity, we carried out tracking of some fundamental concepts in this discussion, within the theoretical framework proposed by Sapir, as his conceptions of language, culture and thought, in order to assess the merits of its reception as a relativist. As this research was conducted under the methodology of Linguistic Historiography, we have also sought to rescue the contextual factors in which such theoretical propositions have emanated. Finally, we propose to discuss the setting of the term relativism in the author\'s theoretical horizon, aiming to provide a reading perspective fairly different from the ones proposed currently by numerous handbooks on the History of Linguistics.

Abstract:
L’ipotesi Sapir-Whorf, conosciuta anche come relativismo linguistico, è la teoria secondo la quale la lingua che parliamo influisce sul nostro modo di vedere il mondo e di percepire la realtà che ci circonda. Nonostante le numerose critiche che le sono state mosse, essa continua ancora oggi a esercitare una forte attrattiva sul grande pubblico e ad apparire in svariati scritti, sia accademici che di fiction. L’elaborato, composto da due parti, si propone di analizzare come il principio whorfiano venga applicato ad alcune opere di fantascienza, con riferimento specifico al racconto lungo Story of Your Life scritto da Ted Chiang. La prima parte è dedicata alla presentazione della teoria linguistica, con riferimento alla formulazione originale dell’autore e alle diverse interpretazioni che si sono susseguite nel tempo. La seconda tratta invece del suo uso in ambito letterario, introducendo brevemente il genere della science fiction e concentrandosi poi sull’opera di Chiang.

Abstract:
According the linguistic relativity hypothesis, the language one speaks affects how one thinks. Because languages differ in how they categorize color, linguistic relativity has often been tested by conducting experiments on color perception and memory. This study examines the linguistic relativity hypothesis using ecologically valid stimuli: pictures of eyes. Because Russian-speakers are more likely to describe blue/grey eyes as grey, whereas English speakers are more likely to describe them as blue, English and Russian participants were asked to match the overall color of blue eyes to a color scale. There were three conditions. In the first condition (perception), participants saw the color scale and an eye picture simultaneously and then chose the color that best matched the picture. In the second condition (memory), participants matched the color of an eye to the color scale from memory. The third condition (label) was similar to the second, except participants labeled the eye orally before matching the color from memory. A 3 (condition) x 2 (language) ANCOVA and Bayesian analysis were used to analyze the data. Overall, the ANCOVA and Bayesian analysis indicated that there was a main effect of language. Russian-speaking participants were more likely to rate the eyes as greyer than English-speaking participants. The Bayesian analysis also suggested that there may also have been an interaction, with Russian and English-speaking participants rating the eyes similarly in the perception condition, but not the memory or labeling conditions. Overall, the findings provide novel evidence for the linguistic relativity hypothesis.

Abstract:
Nous avons examiné comment des lésions cérébrales chez l'homme affectent les interdépendances entre trois modules de traitement cortical de la couleur, notamment : la perception, la dénomination et la connaissance de la couleur de l'objet. Nous avons étudié la catégorisation des couleurs - un exemple de l'interaction entre la perception et le langage. Les preuves provenant du développement cognitif, de la psychologie comparée et des neurosciences cognitives suggèrent que la catégorisation des couleurs ne provient ni de la perception ni du langage, comme le présume le débat Nature-Nurture. Les catégories de couleurs peuvent plutôt refléter des objets pertinents dans l'environnement. Pour évaluer la causalité entre la catégorisation et la dénomination, nous avons étudié un patient victime d'un AVC, le RDS. Malgré de difficultés pour nommer les couleurs chromatiques, résultant d’une lésion occipito-temporale gauche, la catégorisation des couleurs était relativement épargnée chez RDS. Des expériences d'IRM multimodale ont révélé que la connectivité perception-langage est essentielle pour un nommage efficace des couleurs, mais pas pour une catégorisation. L’étude de la connaissance de la couleur des objets dans le contexte de la dégradation des noms de couleurs de RDS a montré que celui-ci ne pouvait pas lier la perception des couleurs au langage ni à la connaissance sémantique. Il ne pouvait pas associer une couleur visuelle à un nom de couleur ou à la forme de son objet typique. Globalement, nous avons démontré trois ségrégations fonctionnelles dans le traitement cortical des couleurs, entre : (1) la catégorisation et la dénomination des couleurs, (2) la dénomination des couleurs chromatiques et achromatiques et (3) la connaissance des objets colorés et celle des couleurs abstraites. Les mécanismes corticaux du traitement des couleurs pourraient avoir pour objectif de lier des informations sensorielles et sémantiques afin de guider le comportement lié aux objets, en réalisant (1) une perception des couleurs stable, (2) des catégories de couleurs pertinentes et (3) des représentations mentales communes des formes et des couleurs. L'évolution culturelle peut avoir recyclé les circuits neuronaux nécessaires à ces processus pour isoler la couleur de l'objet et l'étiqueter avec des noms de couleur
We examined the effects of brain lesions in humans on the interdependences between three modules of cortical colour processing, namely colour perception, naming and object-colour knowledge. We first focused on colour categorisation - a case-in-point of the interplay between perception and language. Reviewed evidence from cognitive development, comparative psychology and cognitive neuroscience hints that colour categorisation originates from neither perception nor language, as assumed by the Nature-Nurture debate. Instead, colour categories may reflect relevant objects in the environment. To assess the causal link between categorization and naming, we investigated a stroke patient, RDS. Despite severe difficulties in naming chromatic colours, due to a left occipito-temporal lesion, RDS’s colour categorisation was relatively spared. Multimodal MRI experiments revealed that the language-perception connectivity is essential for efficient colour naming but not for categorisation. Investigation of object-colour knowledge in the context of RDS’s colour-naming impairment showed that RDS could not link colour perception to neither language nor semantic knowledge. He could not associate a visual colour to a colour name or to the shape of its typical object. Overall, we demonstrated three functional segregations in colour processing: between (1) colour categorisation and colour naming, (2) naming of chromatic and achromatic colours and (3) knowing about coloured objects and knowing about abstract colours. The main purpose of high-level cortical colour mechanisms could be providing sensory and semantic information to guide object-related behaviour, by achieving (1) stable colour perception, (2) relevant colour categories, and (3) joint mental representations of shapes and colours. These neural computations may have been recycled in cultural evolution to isolate colours from objects and label them with names

Abstract:
The linguistic relativity hypothesis (LRH), otherwise known as the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis (SWH), has been passionately debated over the last 60 years. It has undergone a renewed upsurge in scientific, anthropological and social interest. Several attempts have been made to prove or disprove the moderate version of the theory without producing conclusive results. This study analyses the history of the LRH and attempts to clarify its uses and limitations pertaining to ESL discourse in Swedish upper-secondary schools. Pedagogical implications of the study indicate that, if the LRH is correct, there could be a colossal, logistical impact on the national testing of semantic information in English studies which would have to be addressed in order to effectively and fairly assess every student based on their individual, cognitive skills and culturally influenced knowledge of language.

Full text
Abstract:

This work concerns the linguistic relativity hypothesis, also known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which, in its most general form claims that ‘lan-guage’ influences ‘thought’. Past studies into linguistic relativity have treated various aspects of both thought and language, but a growing body of literature has recently emerged, in this thesis referred to as neo-Whorfian, that empirically investigates thought and language from a cross-linguistic perspective and claims that the grammar or lexicon of a particular language influences the speakers’ non-linguistic thought.

The present thesis examines the assumptions about language that underlie this claim and criticizes the neo-Whorfian arguments from the point of view that they are based on misleading notions of language. The critique focuses on the operationalization of thought, language, and culture as separate vari-ables in the neo-Whorfian empirical investigations. The neo-Whorfian stud-ies explore language primarily as ‘particular languages’ and investigate its role as a variable standing in a causal relation to the ‘thought’ variable. Tho-ught is separately examined in non-linguistic tests and found to ‘correlate’ with language.

As a contrast to the neo-Whorfian view of language, a few examples of other approaches to language, referred to in the thesis as sociocultural appro-aches, are reviewed. This perspective on language places emphasis on prac-tice and communication rather than on particular languages, which are vie-wed as secondary representations. It is argued that from a sociocultural per-spective, language as an integrated practice cannot be separated from tho-ught and culture. The empirical findings in the neo-Whorfian studies need not be rejected, but they should be interpreted differently. The findings of linguistic and cognitive diversity reflect different communicational practices in which language cannot be separated from non-language.
