Resum
[eng] This project deals with the relationship between cognition and language and, in particular, with one
of its most important theories: the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis. This idea will be extensively analized
with the help from the book Language, Thought and Reality: Selected Writings of Benjamin Lee
Whorf, edited by John B. Carroll, and will be compared to my approach of it. If the Sapir-Whorf
Hypothesis states that language either determines or influences the way an individual perceives
reality, I believe it is the way a community perceive reality and its surrounding what shapes how the
human being creates language. Most of the common examples usually given to reinforce this
hypothesis will be used as to weaken it in this project.
Keywords: Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis; Language Determinism; Language Relativity
