Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3, , language: English, abstract: This research delves into the relationship between language, culture, and thought, focusing on the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. It examines how language influences our perception of the world through the lens of colour terminology and grammatical gender. While differences in colour categorization across languages initially suggest varied perceptions, empirical evidence indicates that human vision remains constant worldwide. However, colour terminology reflects cultural concepts, highlighting the limits of linguistic comparability. Additionally, the influence of grammatical gender on perception underscores language's conditioning effect on thought. Generic usage in language contributes to reinforcing certain associations, shaping individuals' understanding of the world. Although the paper does not address linguistic dominance by one gender, it acknowledges its relevance in understanding stereotypes. Moreover, it suggests expanding the discussion of grammatical gender to encompass issues of prejudices and racism stemming from misconceptions.
