Re: Sapir Whorf

(Anonymous) 2012-12-02 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I was under the impression (as someone who is very much an amateur wrt linguistics) that the Sapir-Whorf theory is pretty much entirely discredited?

and I don't think that concerns about the words we use are necessarily founded in a belief in something like Sapir-Whorf or linguistic relativity; I think the justification for it is outside that. Although it's certainly possible, and even likely, that it's taken to an extreme and that it's becoming an "increasingly tired for mof language policing."
