What is the "Sapir–Whorf hypothesis"?

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is a theory in linguistics and anthropology that suggests that the structure of a language influences how its speakers perceive and think about the world. Named after linguists Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf, this hypothesis proposes that different languages encode different categories and concepts, which can shape cognitive processes and worldview. There are two main versions of the hypothesis: linguistic determinism, which suggests that language strongly limits thought, and linguistic relativity, which proposes that language influences thought in more subtle ways. This theory encourages the exploration of the relationship between language, culture, and cognition, highlighting how linguistic differences can affect perceptions of reality.
