Sapir-Whorfian Hypothesis


"An individual perceives the world through his language."

This is somehow true to some extent. our idiolect really is one of the factors that shapes our thinking and enables us to understand the world.

This also reminds me to the Dystopian novel "1984". I guess Orwell got his idea for Newspeak from this hypothesis.
