Watch Dr. Boroditsky’s talk about language and thought. Some researchers have suggested that a person’s language determines what he or she can and cannot think. This is called linguistic determinism or the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Another position says that language influences, but does not determine, what individuals can think. A third position is that language does not influence ones’ thoughts at all. Which position is best supported by the evidence presented in Dr. Boroditsky’s talk and our course materials? Does your opinion or personal experience fit with the science? Why or why not?
