Linguistic relativity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity > The principle of linguistic relativity holds that the structure of a language affects its speakers' world view or cognition. Popularly known as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, or Whorfianism, the principle is often defined to include two versions. The strong version says that language determines thought, and that linguistic categories limit and determine cognitive categories, whereas the weak version says that linguistic categories and usage only influence thought and decisions. > Currently, a balanced view of linguistic relativity is espoused by most linguists holding that language influences certain kinds of cognitive processes in non-trivial ways, but that other processes are better seen as arising from connectionist factors. For a simple empirically shown example of linguistic relativity: you can see more colors if you have names for them. https://mobile.nytimes.com/blogs/6thfloor/2012/09/04/its-not-easy-seeing-green/?referer= https://mobile.nytimes.com/blogs/6thfloor/2012/09/04/its-not...
