Linguistic Relativities: Language Diversity and Modern Thought
Leavitt, John (Professor, Universite de Montreal)
Does the language you speak influence your thought and world view? This book offers a history of responses to this question over the last half millennium: usually a simple yes (Renaissance, Romantics, Neoromantics) or no (Enlightenment, most cognitive science), but sometimes more nuanced explorations (Boasian linguistics, recent work in cognition).
