Sprache und Denken —formt deine Sprache deine Wahrnehmung?
Die #SapirWhorf-Hypothese:umstritten, aber nicht tot. Die starke Version ist widerlegt — die schwache hat empirische Belege. Sprecher mit reichhaltigerem Farbvokabular verarbeiten visuelle Unterschiede schneller. Absolute Richtungssprachen formen das räumliche Denken anders.
Sprache erschafft die Wirklichkeit nicht—aber sie filtert sie.
