Question

The idea of language relativity is supported by the view that :

A.

Language reflects rather than determines our thinking and perceptions

B.

Language and culture are separate and independent

C.

Language determines the way we think about and perceive the world

D.

Language has no role in shaping the thoughts

Correct option is A

Language reflects rather than determines our thinking and perceptions
The idea of language relativity is the idea that language is not just a tool for communication, but that it also shapes our thinking and perceptions. This means that the way we speak and think about the world is influenced by our native language.
• For example, the Hopi language does not have words for "time" or "space" in the same way that English does. This suggests that the Hopi people do not have the same concept of time and space as English speakers.
