What is "linguistic determinism"?
Linguistic determinism is the idea that the language a person speaks shapes or limits how they think and perceive the world. According to this concept, the structure and vocabulary of a language influence or even determine a speaker's thoughts, decisions, and worldview. It suggests that people who speak different languages may experience reality in unique ways because their language affects how they categorize and interpret their surroundings. Linguistic determinism is a strong version of the broader theory called linguistic relativity, which explores the relationship between language and thought.
