• Resumen

  • This chapter focuses on a body of research falling under the cover term linguistic relativity. More generally, linguistic relativity studies investigate possible effects of natural language on purportedly non-linguistic cognition. The chapter begins with a historical background of linguistic relativity. It then discusses the requirements for linguistic-relativity research, linguistic relativity and mainstream linguistics, language effect, language development, and domains of research.
