Answer:

F. None of the above

Explanation:

Linguistic Relativism is based on Whorf and Sapir's Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis, which are two: Linguistic Diversity and Linguistic Influence on Thought. These hypothesis determine that people who speak different languages have a different perception or thinking of the world.

As regards Linguistic Diversity, languages, particularly if they don't belong to similar families, differ significantly from one another in their structure and vocabulary.

According to Linguistic Influence on Thought, both structure and vocabulary of an individual's language determine his/her perception and conception of the world.

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Which of the following support the idea of "Linguistic Relativism", would be: None of the above.

Explanation:

Linguistic relativism, or linguistic relativity, is also known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, and it belongs to the theories of relativism. This theory claims that a person´s perception of the world around him, and his cognitive abilities, are dictated by the language that he speaks, and the structures that belong to such a language. This means that a person´s perception and knowledge of the world around them, their environment, is directly linked, and dependent to, the language they speak. In the choices offered here, none of them expresses neither the ideals, nor the principles established by this linguistic theory, nor do they define the theory; therefore, none of the above is the correct choice.

Paul [167]

Answer:

The author of "Code Talkers” supports the idea that the code talkers were essential to America’s war effort by:

B. highlighting the complexity of the Navajo language the code talkers used.

Explanation:

In "Code Talkers", Joseph Bruchac highlights the use of Native American languages as codes during the war. More specifically, he gives special attention to the Navajo language because of its complexity. The other languages could be more easily learned by German and Japanese students, who could then break the codes and relay messages to their countries. On the other hand, the Navajo language was so difficult that almost no one that was a non-Navajo could speak it. That made it much harder to break codes that used the Navajo language.
