This book explores the Superior-Whorf hypothesis, which questions how language influences thought. It delves into whether the absence of specific words affects the ability to think about corresponding concepts, like directions.
"The speakers discuss Lera Boroditsky's work at Stanford which deals with the Superior-Whorf hypothesis and different thought processes. The speaker uses the Aboriginal group in Queensland to explain how language and the absence of words impacts the ability to think, with specific examples about direction and cardinal directions."
