"Linguistic relativity, also known as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis or Whorfianism, is a concept-paradigm in linguistics and cognitive science that holds that the structure of a language affects its speakers' cognition or world view."
- forgotpwtomain 10y agoWhat OP is mentioning is only tangentially related to linguistic relativity - more precisely Sapir-Whorf was making very general statements (most of which have not been found to be empirically supported) about the affect of language on world view (e.g. including differences in color word).
