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.

Abstract:

Summary A scholarly consensus traces the roots of the ‘Sapir-Whorf hypothesis’ to German language theory of the late 18th to early 19th century, which connects the ‘inner form’ of a language with the potential for cultural achievement of the nation that speaks it. This paper attempts to complexify that genealogy by exploring more immediate sources of the idea that one’s native language determines individual and cultural patterns of thought. In the version of this idea held by Herder and Humboldt, called here the ‘magic key’ view, language is seen as embodying the national mind and unfolding in line with the Romantic (Hegelian) theory of history. But there is another version, here dubbed ‘metaphysical garbage’, which envisions language developing within an evolutionary view of history and introducing obstacles to logical thought. This view was a commonplace of Cambridge analytical philosophy (Whitehead & Russell) and Viennese logical positivism (Carnap). A key Cambridge-Vienna link was C. K. Ogden, whose series included books by the leaders of both groups, and whose own book The Meaning of Meaning (with I. A. Richards, 1923) – the subtitle of which begins The influence of language on thought – synthesizes many of their positions. Sapir’s positive review of this book marks a turning point from his view of language as a cultural product (as in Language, 1921) to a sort of template around which the rest of culture is structured, as in his “The Status of Linguistics as a Science” (1929). This paper, like others of Sapir’s writings from 1923 on, takes up the rhetoric of metaphysical garbage almost exclusively. Whorf, drawn by Sapir to structuralism from originally mystical interests in language, likewise takes up the ‘garbage’ line, interweaving it with ‘magic key’ only in the two years between Sapir’s death and his own. Other influences on Whorf s views are examined, including Korzybski’s General Semantics, to which he has intriguing connections.

Abstract:

The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis advocates the ontology of language, arguing that language affects and even determines human thinking to some extent. In view of the fact that human thinking is abstract and intangible, and that values are the soul of the way of thinking, this paper compares the three sets of non-equivalent phenomena between Chinese and American languages and values. As a result, it can be exemplified that language cannot determine or influence values to a certain extent, that is, language cannot determine or influence people's thinking to a certain extent, thus revealing the irrationality of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis. Through in-depth analysis of the differences between Chinese and American values as well as language characteristics, the cultural concepts behind language can be more deeply understood, which is conducive to improving the awareness of cross-cultural communication and enhancing cross-cultural communication ability; on the other hand, the accuracy and authenticity of language selection can also be improved so as to ensure the reliability in the translation practice.

Résumé RÉSUMÉ Benjamin Lee Whorf et les fondements boasiens de l'ethnolinguistique contemporaine Benjamin Lee Whorf est probablement l'anthropologue le plus méconnu de son époque. Cet article analyse cinq aspects de son œuvre : ses hypothèses sur la relativité linguistique à partir de plusieurs points de vue, y compris à la lumière de sa biographie; ses réflexions sur le langage, la pensée et la réalité; ses liens avec l'anthropologie boasienne et la première école de linguistique à Yale; sa recherche sur le hopi et ce qu'il appelait l'européen standard moyen; et son influence sur l'ethnolinguistique et les sciences cognitives contemporaines. Bien qu'il fasse aujourd'hui figure d'original, ses contemporains percevaient simplement Whorf comme l'un des linguistes s'intéressant aux langues amérindiennes dans l'équipe d'Edward Sapir. Sa notion de relativité linguistique reposait sur les catégories grammaticales et sous-tendait une diversité culturelle et un relativisme très éloignés de la conception universaliste des sciences cognitives. De ce fait, son travail s'insère parfaitement dans la tradition de recherche interculturelle de l'ethnolinguistique.

Language, culture, and mind are closely related, each of these extracts reflects one another. The relationship between language, culture and mind of speakers is a basic idea of Sapir and Whorf's theories and hypotheses. Language politeness that is rooted in the splash of the cultural values of the speaking community, including can be seen from the packaging of the information structure as outlined in the sentence of a language. The construction of different clauses grammatically packs different information structures and politeness values. The way of thinking between cultures as outlined in a writing will be different in the way it is delivered. The purpose of this study is to describe culture in expressive writing, is seen from the hypothesis of Edwar Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf.

Language and culture, as conceptualized in traditional anthropology, may have an important influence on pain and brain-behavior relations.

In this paper, the paradigm is applied to information the person retrieves from “inside” his body; namely, “noxious” stimuli which get registered in consciousness as pain.

Abstract:

In the field of linguistics, the ideas of Benjamin Whorf continue to generate as much controversy as they did when they first became known more than half a century ago. This continued interest in Whorf's theories about relationship between language, mind, and experience has now extended beyond the realm of linguistics. Today, anthropologists, cognitive psychologists, and even education researchers are rediscovering Whorf's insights with enthusiasm. In this article, Penny Lee argues that Whorf's theory complex, which includes the linguistic relativity principle (sometimes also referred to as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis), has important implications for education, particularly with respect to the role of language in teaching and thinking. From the theory complex, Lee draws a new Whorfian framework that provides some starting points for educators to reflect on language-mind-experience relationships, and, ultimately, to improve their classroom practice.

Abstract The 2016 much acclaimed American sci-fi movie Arrival is based on (what is in reality an extension of) the so-called “Sapir-Whorf” hypothesis, a linguistic theory set forth in the first half of the 20th century, according to which one’s native language dictates the way in which one perceives reality. By taking into account the latest in human knowledge, this paper tries to provide arguments as to why such a claim works wonderfully in fiction, but not in science.

Abstract:

The traditional approach to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis looks at language and categorically different perception or interpretation of the environment. Another aspect of linguistic relativity relates language to the process of cognition itself, including the ease or facility of cognitive processes. With particular reference to the Chinese language and its unique orthography, some evidence for language-related differences in the manner of information processing is reviewed. These include visual form perception, manipulation of numbers, and memory versus manipulation and elaboration of verbal information. These differences have implications for cognitive development as well as cross-cultural testing and comparison.

AbstractKenneth L. Pike’s tagmemic explanation of his etic-emic equivalence corresponds to the notion of “approximate” translation. According to a weaker version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, Pike’s cross-cultural and multilingual perspective of Bible translation approximates the duality and triadicity of Peirce’s immediate/emotional, dynamical/energetic, and final/logical interpretants. Pike’s astronautical examples of the artificial language Kabala-X translated into English and the science fiction story of the Earthmen who invaded Mars are fictional and creative artifacts of human-alien cryptography leading, as argued here, to false semio-logical reasoning.

Abstract:

Este trabalho pretende, através de uma análise da controvérsia a respeito da quantidade de palavras existentes em esquimó para referir-se a neve, fazer uma reflexão sobre as noções de palavra, significado e relatividade linguística, conforme definidas na hipótese Sapir-Whorf, e em relação com a lexicografia. Após explorar os primórdios da controvérsia com base nas formulações de Franz Boas no final do séc. XIX, o exemplo é utilizado para investigar o possível efeito que a estrutura gramatical e o léxico de uma língua podem ter sobre a maneira como os falantes desta língua percebem o mundo, já que estes aspectos do conhecimento linguístico seriam condicionados pelo meio ambiente no qual os falantes desta língua vivem. As contestações frequentemente sarcásticas sobre a associação entre estes aspectos da hipótese Sapir-Whorf e a quantidade de palavras para referir-se a neve em esquimó são discutidas, com uso intensivo de material relacionado a parâmetros bem estabelecidos da tipologia linguística. Elementos novos revelados por pesquisas recentes são incorporados à análise do condicionamento cultural e ambiental da semântica lexical das línguas. Estas investigações atuais parecem na verdade corroborar as conclusões iniciais de Boas quanto à grande variedade de palavras para referir-se a neve em esquimó, em termos de distinções significativas, tanto morfológicas quanto semânticas. A discussão conclui com uma ênfase na importância do conhecimento humano expresso por estas distinções, a despeito dos usos de tais informações em contextos não especializados, como palestras “inspiradoras” para profissionais de vendas, as quais seriam potencialmente equivocadas em termos de padrões científicos de estudo das línguas.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe Sapir–Whorf hypothesis is often implicitly assumed to be true independent of its empirical status. Feminist attempts to eliminate the generic he must assume that language somehow affects thought, since there is no intrinsic harm in the word itself. Research to date has, in fact, shown that generic he tends to suggest a male referent in the mind of the reader. This study asks whether people's interpretation of a generic sentence varies depending on whether or not they have followed feminist proposals and reformed their own language. Fifty-five college students read sex-indefinite paragraphs involving either the generic he, he or she, or they, and made drawings to represent the mental images evoked by what they read. The sex of the figure drawn was the dependent variable. Students' term papers were used to determine whether their own language was “reformed” or “traditional.” He was found to be least likely to evoke female referents, he or she most likely, and they in between. However, regardless of the pronoun, men drew more male and fewer female pictures than women. Moreover, whereas men did not differ in their imagery, whether their language was reformed or traditional, women did. Traditional-language women had more male images than female. Reformed-language women showed the opposite. Results are discussed in terms of the theory of social identity (Tajfel 1981), and it is concluded that the weak, correlational form of Whorf's thesis applies to women, the group that initiated the reform in the first place.

Abstract:

In this essay I closely look at dialogues from the Daoist text Zhuangzi and examine their modes of reasoning. The observations, comments, and dialogues are often witty, surprising, and puzzling. Sometimes they are mystic and difficult to understand. But how “reasonable” are the answers given in these dialogues? I will focus on a dialogue from chapter 17, called “Autumn Floods.” I will closely follow and analyze the arguments and their twists. In particular, I will question the use of the word “Dao.” I will also place this analysis in broader comparative frameworks regarding rationality, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, and Western traditions.

Abstract:

The article presents the main provisions of the theory of thesaurus-type dictionaries, gives definitions of the thesaurus, describes the relationship of the thesaurus with the type of writing, considers the main provisions of the Sapir-Whorf theory of l inguistic relativity and their connection with the way of thinking and methods of conceptualizing extra-linguistic reality by representatives of different ethnic cultures. The authors propose the thesaurus of ideographic writing as one of the models of ethnocognitive science and, using the example of the dictionary “Shuo wen jie zi”, substantiate the expediency of using the term “ethnothesaurus”.

RésuméOn attribue communément à Humboldt l’origine de la thèse selon laquelle la structure du langage détermine la structure de la pensée, connue sous le nom d’hypothèse de Sapir-Whorf. Nous voulons reprendre les conceptions de Humboldt en la matière à leur source, c’est-à-dire dans le contexte de sa réflexion sur les enjeux philosophiques et anthropologiques reliés au grand mouvement comparatiste allemand du XIXesiècle. Après avoir esquissé la mesure herméneutique de son approche du langage, nous indiquerons sommairement comment Humboldt concevait en fait la relation entre la pensée et le langage en termes d’action réciproque et de synthèse.

Abstract:

Tras la decadencia del relativismo lingüístico en el Zeitgeist universalista de los años 50 y 60, han florecido en las dos últimas décadas diversas variedades de neorrelativismo. A modo de marco, en § 2 se formulan cuatro proposiciones que configuran la versión fuerte, clásica, de la llamada «hipótesis de Sapir-Whorf». Las dificultades que presenta el análisis de Whorf de la pluralidad y el número en inglés y en hopi se introducirán en § 3 como muestra de las objeciones conceptuales y empíricas a las que está expuesta su posición. § 4 es una presentación parcial del estado actual de la cuestión, centrada en tres dominios en los que se han postulado efectos whorfianos: la hipótesis de Slobin del «pensar para hablar» y su aplicación al dominio de los sucesos de movimiento; la obra de Levinson y sus asociados sobre marcos de referencia espacial; y los estudios de Lucy y sus colaboradores sobre lenguas clasificadoras y la forma y la composición de las entidades. Las objeciones planteadas por los críticos de estas variedades de neorrelativismo dejan hueco para el escepticismo.

Abstract:

With the prosperity of various world trade organizations, the ability of cross-cultural business English writing is becoming more and more critical. As one form of language output, cross-cultural business English writing is profoundly affected by huge differences existing in the way of thinking between Chinese and westerners. This article, combining with Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and Kaplan theory, mainly focuses on studying the negative effects of Chinese thinking mode by analyzing the common mistakes in daily business English writing from three levels of vocabulary, syntax, discourse and then puts forward countermeasures for improving the ability of cross-cultural business English writing and communication.

Abstract:

This article is intended to highlight the linguistic principle proposed by anthropological linguists, “Language is a mirror of the culture.” The purpose of study attempts to explore foreign language teaching and learning from the perspective of language shapes thought and to improve language learning through a cross a cross-cultural communication. The first part of this article, the linguistic principle, is reflected in the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis or the Whorfian hypothesis briefly highlighted. Second part focuses on the practical use of the Whorfian hypothesis for teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), especially cross culture understanding (CCU) and the English teaching for specific purposes (ESP).

Abstract:

Everett’s main claim is that language is a “cultural tool”, created by hominids for communication and social cohesion. I examine the meaning of the expression “cultural tool” in terms of the influence of language on culture (i.e. the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis) or of the influence of culture on language (Everett’s hypothesis). I show that these hypotheses are not well-supported by evidence and that language and languages, rather than being “cultural tools” as wholes are rather collections of tools used in different language games, some cultural or social, some cognitive. I conclude that the coincidence between language and culture is due to the fact that both originate from human nature.

Abstract:

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis states that the language someone speaks shapes their thoughts. Although this view may have fallen into disrepute in the field of linguistics, its influence, the Whorfianism, has been the number one showcase in science fiction works that somehow approach language, and more specifically, invented languages. This paper uses Ted Chiang’s award-winning novella Story of your life (1998) and its filmic adaptation Arrival (2016) directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Eric Heisserer as a case study to investigate this literary phenomenon. The considerations of Guy Deutscher (2010), Stockwell (2006) and Ria Cheyne (2008), as well as the authors’ own viewpoints, are vitally important for that. The result is a speculative and comparative analysis that contributes to a better understanding of the frequent connexion of science fiction, glossopoesis and Whorfianism.

Abstract:

Dans cet exposé je m’occupe de certains travaux, relativement récents, de linguistes slaves, russes et polonais, qui examinent la relation entre le caractère national dans la langue et «l’image linguistique du monde». Le rapport entre la culture et la langue a toujours été représenté au niveau du lexique et de la phraséologie, mais les travaux en question l’identifient dans la structure grammaticale des langues. Je me propose de présenter cette approche en me concentrant sur le travail de la linguiste polonaise Anna Wierzbicka et sur son influence sur les linguistes russes. Ce courant d’études en Russie, qui suit l’hypothèse de la relativité linguistique dite de Sapir-Whorf, objet de discussions récentes parmi les linguistes, les psycholinguistes et les anthropologues occidentaux, pose des problèmes dans le contexte intellectuel général de la Russie d’aujourd’hui.

Abstract:

This paper attempts an investigation to the relationship between the Analects by Confucius (the Lun-Yu), which contains the very core of the philosophy of Confucius and the Chinese language in terms of describing the degree to which the structure of the Chinese language has been beneficial for the evolution of philosophical thought. The idea investigated has its root to the individuality of the Chinese language, which is differently structured compared to the Indo-European languages. Therefore we set to explore how it became possible for this particularity to give birth to original philosophical ideas and thus some comparison examples are used to the Greek language. In other words may we assume that the way one speaks defines the way one thinks according to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis?

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 often culturally conditioned. As related to the field of foreign language teaching, relativity across languages and cultures presupposes contrastive analysis in a very broad senses. Thus, pointing out differences in language structures and cultural conventions should lead students to better acquisition of linguistic and cultural sensitivity.

Abstract:

O presente artigo analisa a obra 1984, de George Orwell, estabelecendo relações com os regimes totalitários no século XX, enfatizando o contexto brasileiro de censura e repressão vivenciado durante dois períodos distintos: a Era Vargas e o Regime Militar. O aporte teórico Foucaultiano traz a disciplina, a vigilância, a censura e a punição como formas de instituição e manutenção do poder nas obras A ordem do discurso e Vigiar e punir. Uma das formas de controle apresentadas pela obra de Orwell é o determinismo linguístico que é estabelecido a partir da criação da Novafala, idioma usado no controle do pensamento em 1984. Nesse contexto, aborda-se a Novafala, relacionando-a à versão extremada da Hipótese Sapir- Whorf acerca do determinismo linguístico, a qual, na discussão, não pode ser sustentada de forma cabal.
