90 chars

Generation

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis proposes that the language we speak shapes how we think and perceive reality. It suggests that speakers of different languages may experience and conceptualize the world differently based on their language's structure and vocabulary. While the strong version (linguistic determinism) has been largely rejected, the weaker version (linguistic relativity) remains influential in understanding how language can influence thought patterns.
