| Give three arguments against linguistic determinism. |
|
Definition
1. Whorf's argument about "colors" and languages has been countlessly disproven. All human's see colors in the same way, and individuals from languages w/out certain colors have been able to quickly identifiy them within their own language context. 2. Whorf's analysis of Apache to english translations are not only flawed, they also determine little about "words" influencing "thoughst." Whorf jumps from different ways of "speaking" to different ways of "thinking" without thorough analysis.
3. Whorf's analysis of the Inuit people and their multiple words for snow shows is not only false but also doesn't properly support the theory of linguistic determinism. The different number of words doesn't prove the Inuits think differently (Pullman) merely that they classify snow in multiple ways. |
