Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis
There are around 5000 languages in use today, and each is quite contrastive from many an(prenominal) of the others. Many thinkers be in possession of urged that macro differences in language lead to large differences in experience and thought. They hold that each language embodies a worldview, which speakers of different languages think about the world in quite different ways. At first I didnt really understood what was being said, and I was really against it, but after asking myself, really? Knowing a different amount of words to describe things would allow us to dampen understand and communicate, interesting than as we started the color activity it became clear to me.Then directly I started making connections to friends of mines form other foreign countries. Sometimes we pay difficulties explain things to each other, things that are often the same, but because of where hes from and the way their communication methods (Grammar, metaphors, Pragmatics, Semantics, Lexicon) are structured makes it difficult, to understand him being Im form a different part of the world, meaning a different form of communication method, with a different clique of rules.Form what I have read and understand the almost important discussions of the linguistic relativity theory hypothesis have focused on grammar and lexicon which seem to be the most valid in my opinion. Why? Im guessing it have something to do with the way we talk, and the influence it have on a quid of how much we understand, based on our vocabulary choices and makeup. For example a veritable(prenominal) word order may vary in English the park order is subject, verb, and object.In Japanese it is subject, object, and verb, and in Latin several different twisting (word order). Languages can differ in whether they make a distinction amid intransitive verbs and adjectives there are many subtler sorts of grammatical difference as well. Grammar here does not mean the grammar we learned in grammar school, but the syntactical structure of a language in the sense that grammar contains a set of rules that can generate all and only the sentences of a given language.
