Linguistic Determinism, Acquisition, & Cognition
Linguistic determinism is a topic that inspires a great deal of debate among cognitive psychologists. Retrieve an article on the topic of linguistic determinism (other search terms might include linguistic relativity hypothesis, Whorf hypothesis, or Whorf-Sapir hypothesis) and summarize the article. Interpret for your peers whether the article supports linguistic determinism or not. Respond to the following as part of your initial discussion post:
What is linguistic determinism?
What evidence is presented in the article you found that supports or refutes linguistic determinism?
What is your own perspective on linguistic determinism? Do you support the hypothesis? Why or why not?
What might linguistic determinism have implications for areas such as education or mental health problems?
Once you have completed your discussion of linguistic determinism, respond to your classmates’ initial post, providing research findings from the article you found regarding the validity of linguistic determinism. Also, propose factors that support or refute the concept of linguistic determinism that your classmates may benefit from considering.
