Question

A famous lecturer argues that because the hopi indians have only two nouns for things that fly, one for birds and another for non-birds, the hopi most likely interpret all flying things in terms of these two nouns. this argument is based on __________.

Answer 1

This argument is based on "the linguistic relativity hypothesis".

The hypothesis of linguistic relativity holds that the structure of a dialect influences its speakers' reality view or discernment. Prevalently known as the Sapir– Whorf theory, or Whorfianism, the standard is regularly characterized to incorporate two forms. The solid form says that dialect decides thought and that etymological classifications confine and decide intellectual classifications, while the feeble adaptation says that phonetic classifications and use just impact thought and choices.
