SAPIR WHORF HYPOTHESIS: DIFFERENT CULTURES HAVE DIFFERENT MEANING SYSTEMS WHICH ARE EQUALLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE IN THE ABSENCE OF A MEANS OF CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Front 2

THREE EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HOPI VS STANDARD AVERAGE EUROPEAN LANGUAGE

Back 2

1) CONCEPT OF TIME
2) MASS NOUNS
3) SPACE

Front 3

WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOPI AND SAE?

Back 3

HOPI LANGUAGE SUBJECTIFIES WHEREAS SAE OBJECTIFIES

Front 4

SAE V. HOPI (CONCEPT OF TIME)

Back 4

SAE: OBJECTIFY BY QUANTIFYING EXPRESSIONS OF TIME SUCH AS "TEN DAYS"

HOPI: SUBJECTIFY BY LACKING QUANTIFICATION THAT REPRESENT TIME AS A PROCESS OF "BECOMING LATER"

Front 5

SAE V. HOPI (MASS NOUNS)

Back 5

SAE: OBJECTIVE "MASS" NOUNS SUCH AS "FOOD" AND "WATER" WHICH MUST BE INDIVIDUALIZED WITH "SOME" OR "A GLASS OF"

HOPI: SUBJECTIVE LACKS MASS NOUNS INSTEAD EVERY NOUN IS ALREADY INDIVIDUALIZED

Front 6

SAE V. HOPI (SPACE)

Back 6

SAE: OBJECTIFY USING SPATIAL METAPHORS SUCH AS "MAKE A POINT," OR "GRASP AN IDEA"

HOPI: SUBJECTIVE BECAUSE OF TENSORS

WHAT ARE FOLK TAXONOMIES?

Back 15

CULTURALLY CONDITIONED MAPS OF SEMANTIC DOMAINS THAT CLASSIFY CULTURAL REALMS USING HIERARCHIES OF CATEGORIES DEFINED BY CULTURAL CRITERIA

Front 17

WHAT IS A CULTURAL GRAMMAR?

Back 17

COMPONENTIAL ANALYSIS PRODUCES CULTURAL GRAMMARS: ANTHROPOLOGICAL LINGUISTS INTERVIEW BY UTTERING CONTRASTING SOUNDS ASKING WHETHER OR NOT THESE SOUNDS ARE MEANINGFUL

Front 18

WHAT VIEW DID COGNITIVE ANTHROPOLOGISTS SHARE?

Back 18

CULTURE WAS A FORMAL SYSTEM OF RULE FOR THOUGHT AND BEHAVIOR (ALL CLASSIFICATIONS WERE TREATED AS CULTURALLY CONTEXT DEPENDENT)
