was much more grounded and practical, implying that women are more connected to the earth 4. LINGUISTIC DETERMINISM: The great source of linguistic determinism is from Benjamin Whorf who wrote during the 1930-50s Professionally an insurance adjuster, he was linguist in his spare time, bi he was very serious about linguist b. Said that the grammar of a language radically determines thought. The way that grammar divides and categorizes the world affects how we see the world 1. Example: the Inuit have many, many words for snow and ice because they need to make many fine distinctions about the quality of the and ice l1. Example: Anthropologists were looking at the ways people talk about color. It turns out that societies chop up the world of color in many different ways. Each society has a different set of words, but they do not cover the same segment of the color spectrum. It affects he ee color iii. Example: The Kuna have one word that covers both blue and gr c. Whorf said that in English you couldn t make a sentence without indicating when the action took place i. Example: He hit the ball(past), He is hitting the ball(present), H will hit the ball(future) d. He studied the Hopi of the American South West. They are the most famous of the Pueblo Indians. Whorf said that in Hopi there are no words that directly refer to time. There is no verb tense. Therefore, he concluded they have a radically different approach to time The Navajo langue requires that you indicate if something just started, is just ending, is repeated or is singular In Kuna you have a verb form only for indicating that you did something when you arrived There is another form for if you went somewhere to do the action and then returned. you are also expected to indicate what position the person is in when they undertake the actio 1. He is sleeping lying down, he is eating standing up 2. There are separate forms for sitting on a bench of sitting on ii1. When you count in Kuna you have to use a numeral classifier in the beginning that tells you what kind of object it is 1. You can't say"one canoe", you have to say " one long one 2.“ one sharp one knife 3. Not all the classifiers are obvious. One big fish is "one long one fish ' and a small fish is"one skin one fish 4. It turns out that this is a pretty common mean of counting re many Native Am and Asian languages thawas much more grounded and practical, implying that women are more connected to the earth. 4.
