The concept of linguistic relativity, also known as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, posits that language influences human perception and shapes the way individuals conceptualize the world. While debates continue regarding the extent of this influence, linguistic relativity remains a central issue in linguistics, philosophy of language, and cultural studies. Comparative literature, as a field that analyzes texts across languages and cultures, provides fertile ground for examining how linguistic structures affect literary representation, interpretation, and translation. This article investigates the theoretical underpinnings of linguistic relativity and explores its reflection in comparative literature. Through a theoretical-analytical approach, the study identifies the intersections between language, culture, and literature, emphasizing how linguistic diversity impacts literary meaning, stylistic choices, and cross-cultural interpretation.
