The Linguistic Relativity Theory
The Linguistic Relativity Theory suggests that the language you speak influences how you think and perceive the world. In other words, the words and structure of your language shape your thoughts, perceptions, and even cultural norms. For example, people with different languages might interpret colors, emotions, or concepts differently because their language emphasizes or categorizes these ideas in unique ways. This doesn’t mean language completely determines thought, but it can influence and guide how we interpret our experiences and understanding of reality.
