基于“萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说”的语言相对论,是研究语言与思维、文化三者关系的极具影响而又颇受争议的理论。它从人类语言的多样性出发,强调语言对思维的影响,以及思维对语言的反作用。虽然没有足够的实证可以证明该理论的正确性,但在相关的语言活动中有着较强的解释力量。本文主要介绍了语言相对论的理论渊源,以及该理论对英语专业精读教学的理论价值和现实意义。
The theory of language relativity based on the “Sapir-Wolfe Hypothesis” is a very influential and controversial theory that studies the relationship between language and thinking and culture. It starts from the diversity of human languages, emphasizing the influence of language on thinking and the reaction of thinking to language. Although there is not enough evidence to prove the correctness of the theory, there is a strong explanatory power in the related linguistic activities. This article mainly introduces the theoretical origins of language relativity and the theoretical and practical significance of this theory to intensive English teaching.
