How do the categories of language shape our thinking?
This question has remained one of the most debated in the science of language for a hundred years — from Humboldt to the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis.
Sergey Boroday, research fellow at the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, offers a new perspective. Drawing on data from about 250 languages and hundreds of studies, he shows that the influence of language on cognition is neither universal nor linear. It depends on linguistic structure, context, and the type of cognitive operation.
The result is the concept of postrelativism — a contemporary model of how language is embedded in human cognition.
The book is available again. Limited print run.
