The claim that crosslinguistic disparities foster differences in
nonlinguistic thought, often referred to as 'linguistic
relativity', has for some time been the subject of intense debate.
For much of that time the debate was not informed by much
experimental work. Recently, however, there has been an explosion
of research on linguistic relativity, carried out by numerous
scholars interested in the interaction between language and
nonlinguistic cognition. This book surveys the rapidly accruing
research on this topic, much of it carried out in the last decade.
Structured so as to be accessible to students and scholars in
linguistics, psychology, and anthropology, it first introduces
crucial concepts in the study of language and cognition. It then
explores the relevant experimentally oriented research, focusing
independently on the evidence for relativistic effects in spatial
orientation, temporal perception, number recognition, color
discrimination, object/substance categorization, gender construal,
as well as other facets of cognition. This is the only book to
extensively survey the recent work on linguistic relativity, and
should serve as a critical resource for those concerned with the
topic.
