Editing Language and Thought (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Linguistic Relativity''' (Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis) — The idea that the "Structure" of a language affects its speakers' "Worldview" or "Cognition."
* '''Linguistic Determinism''' (Strong Version) — The (mostly rejected) idea that language **Determines** and **Limits** human thought.
* '''Linguistic Influence''' (Weak Version) — The (widely accepted) idea that language "Nudges" or "Influences" how we categorize and remember things.
* '''Universalism''' — The view that all humans have a "Core set of concepts" and a "Universal Grammar" (Noam Chomsky), and language is just a "Translating tool" for those thoughts.
* '''Mentalese''' — The "Hypothetically universal language of thought" that exists in the brain before we turn it into "Words."
* '''Eskimo Snow Myth''' — The famous (but false) claim that "Eskimos have 100 words for snow," used to argue that they "See snow differently." (In reality, they have about the same number as English speakers).
* '''Color Terms''' — The study of how different cultures "Divide the Rainbow." (e.g., some languages have no word for 'Blue').
* '''Absolute vs. Relative Direction''':
** '''Relative''': 'Left,' 'Right,' 'Front,' 'Back' (Centered on the person).
** '''Absolute''': 'North,' 'South,' 'East,' 'West' (Centered on the earth).
* '''Grammatical Gender''' — When a language forces you to call a 'Bridge' "Masculine" (German) or "Feminine" (Spanish).
* '''Folk Taxonomy''' — The way "Common people" categorize the "Natural world" (Plants/Animals) in their language.
