Hey Johnny, did you know that the way we speak can pereive the world?

OH really Lily? HOW SO?

AFFECTION OF THE SAPIR WHORF HYPOTHESIS

t's called the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. It suggests that the structure and vocabulary of a language influence how its speakers perceive and think about the world.

: Fascinating! How does that relate to English?

Well, English is a language wiith many words and concepts. But some languages have unique words that english Does not.

Como estas?

Estoy Bien!

For example, some languages have specific words for emotions or ideas that english might not have

So, you're saying the language we speak can limit out understanding of certain concepts?

It's like having a puzzle with missing peices. We can still see the picture, but those missing pieces might hold they key to a deeper understanding

The Sapir Whorf Hypothesis

Think of it like this Johnny, imagine trying to build a house with only a hammer and nails, whilke others have access to better tools. Thats similiar to how the Sapir Whorf hypothesis works, shaping our perception and understanding through the lens of language

OHHHHH!! GOTCHYAA!!

THE END

Affection of the Sapir whorf hypothesis continues to impact english.......
