Questioning the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis

Authors: Pérez Montes, Carlos;

Questioning the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis

Abstract

[spa] Este proyecto trata sobre la relación entre mente y lenguaje y, en particular, con una de las teorías más importantes acerca de este tópico: la hipótesis de Sapir-Whorf. Esta idea será analizada de manera extensiva con ayuda del libro Lenguaje, Pensamiento y Realidad: Selección de escritos de Benjamin Lee Whorf, editado por John B. Carroll, y será comparada con mi manera de entenderla. Si la hipótesis de Sapir-Whorf dice que el lenguaje o bien determina o bien influencia la manera en la que un individuo percibe la realidad, yo creo que es la manera en la que una comunidad percibe la realidad y su entorno lo que influye en la manera en la que el ser humano crea el lenguaje. La mayoría de los ejemplos típicamente usados para fortalecer esta hipótesis serán usados para debilitarla a lo largo de este proyecto. Palabras Clave: Hipótesis de Sapir-Whorf; Determinismo Lingüístico; Relatividad Lingüística

[eng] This project deals with the relationship between cognition and language and, in particular, with one of its most important theories: the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis. This idea will be extensively analized with the help from the book Language, Thought and Reality: Selected Writings of Benjamin Lee Whorf, edited by John B. Carroll, and will be compared to my approach of it. If the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis states that language either determines or influences the way an individual perceives reality, I believe it is the way a community perceive reality and its surrounding what shapes how the human being creates language. Most of the common examples usually given to reinforce this hypothesis will be used as to weaken it in this project. Keywords: Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis; Language Determinism; Language Relativity
